We can use math to
understand
the things around us.
We can estimate the
number of: spindles in a fence strawberries in 4 quarts chocolate chips in a bag
of cookies border around a bulletin
board
If you counted 10 wooden spindles in one area of the fence,
You could estimate the number of spindles in the whole fence .
If you counted the number of strawberries in one quart,
You could estimate the number of strawberries in 4 quarts.
If you counted the chocolate chips in one cookies,
You could estimate the number of of chocolate chips in a bag of
cookies.
If you counted the length of one section of border for the
bulletin board,
You could estimate how much border you would need to go around
the bulletin board.
