An estimate is not merely a “guess.” A reasonable estimate depends upon mathematical understandings of both numerosity and measurement.

Regardless of how high #preschoolers can rote count, a child’s sense of what those numbers actually mean develops gradually. We call this understanding NUMBER SENSE, and it requires relating numbers to real quantities.

Students in small group writing session using @LincEdhero to reflect on their writing goals. We had active engagement and discussion about their writing goals and students even navigated through the app with the teacher 🌟 @TamaraLPollock @Clapturn
