Estimating Quantity with Child 8
A child estimates the number of cubes in a collection.
Focus on the Child videos are taken from one-on-one interviews with individual children. The interviews are designed to elicit evidence of children’s mathematical thinking. They are not teaching episodes or formal assessments.
Why is this important?
More than 10 looks like a “bunch” to many preschoolers.
