Estimation Slips

Use these handy estimation slips to help kids explain the thinking behind their estimates. Designed with second graders in mind, this worksheet was created to accompany Spooky Halloween Jars, a measurement and capacity activity in which participants are tasked with guessing how many objects are held in different clear jars. However, this worksheet can be easily adapted to suit any math or measurement activity in which children are asked to make an estimate and record how they came up with their estimate.
