Math Beans

 Last week during math, the students worked on estimating and comparing numbers by taking scoops of beans. The goal was to scoop as close to 125 beans as possible. After the students took their scoop, they sorted their beans into containers of ten, this helped them calculate their total amount of beans. After they had their total number, they wrote a sentence where they compared their number to 125. For example, 90 beans is < 125 beans. The students also figured out how far away their number of beans was from the target number 125.
