Estimating Quantity with Child 9
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?
Having a reference for comparison helps build more accurate estimation skills.
