Mrs. Fell's class spent today learning about estimation. Instead of working out of a math textbook or doing worksheets, they used Johnny Appleseed's birthday as a way to incorporate estimation into class. Here is Mrs. Fell explaining the project
After the project was over I asked Alfredo to explain what he did:
Then I asked Heather how she can use what she learned in other ways:

Hi, I'm Maggie Tarver in Dr. Strange's EDM 310 class. I love this idea for learning estimation...no textbooks or worksheets required! It seemed like the students understood the activity and enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing a great math lesson idea!
I think this is a good way to show how estimation works and apples are not that messy like oranges would be. This was a great math lesson. I am Cortney in Dr. Strange EDM 310 you can check out my blog at http://rosecedm310fall2009.blogspot.com/
I think this is such a cute and fun way to make Math interesting! Incorporating fun things like food into Math makes it more interesting and fun! Such a great lesson!! I am Caroline in Dr. Strange's EDM310 class!!
