The Estimation Clipboard is a set of 40 lessons that each include 4 highly similar images. Each image provides an invitation to estimation. Then as new images are introduced, the students' context and intrigue will grow - and so will their excitement.

The Estimation Clipboard series is arranged in 4 different levels. Watch the video, download the lessons, and try The Estimation Clipboard in your class. You may be very surprised by what is about to happen...

Keep watching The Estimation Clipboard as new images, new levels, and new combinations will be added to this post on an ongoing basis.

UPDATE: I'm now posting the lessons in bundles. Each bundle includes 4 sets. Here is a picture of a Bundle download. So when you download a bundle, you'll have the option of using 1 set each day for four days or using multiple sets in a single day.
Bundle 2 - (Sets 5, 6, 7, & 8) More to come soon!!! I'll continue to post all 40 sets throughout the next several days! Other Posts and Resources Which May Be of Interest

Handbooks are standalone versions of the Handbook section of the related STEM Case. They cover the relevant science content, but without the real-world problem to solve.

Each Handbook uses realtime reporting to show live student results.

Handbooks take roughly half as long as the relevant STEM Case to complete.

Perhaps my interest in the infographics on " Common Mythconceptions" led me to Visualistan, which I bookmarked in my Pocket account awhile ago. The specific infographic I thought might be useful for my students was, "How Long Did Famous Structures Take to Build? "

Having time during this Spring Break, though, I found some others that might be of interest in educational settings. For example, if your students are doing animal research, you might want them to take a look at, "T ravelling Speeds of Animals," or " Sleep Habits of the Animal Kingdom."

You can also find more infographics at Visualistan

You can also find more infographics at Visualistan

Another one that I find intriguing is, " Cultural Differences in Teaching Around the World. "

Like " Common Mythconceptions," I would not recommend the entire site of Visualistan for elementary students, but single infographics from the site could certainly be used at all levels. There are many real-life math applications and engaging topics, from " Lego Bedrooms," to the " Evolution of Video Games." You could create your own questions, have students create questions, and eventually allow students to create their own infographics!

World Population:

reached 8 billion on November 15, 2022 according to the latest United Nations estimates.

is projected to reach 9 billion in 2037, and 10 billion in 2058.

has doubled in 40 years from 1959 (3 billion) to 1999 (6 billion).

is currently (2023) growing at a rate of around 0.88% per year, adding around 70 million people per year to the total.

growth rate reached its peak in the late 1960s, when it was at 2.09%.

growth rate is currently declining and is projected to continue to decline in the coming years (reaching below 0.50% by 2048, reach 0 in 2086, and decline by -0.11% in 2100) .

a tremendous change occurred with the industrial revolution: whereas it had taken all of human history up to the year 1800 for world population to reach 1 billion, the second billion was achieved in only 130 years (1930), the third billion in 30 years (1960), the fourth billion in 15 years (1974), the fifth billion in 13 years (1987), the sixth billion in 11 years (1998), the seventh billion and eighth billion in 12 years each (2010 and 2022). During the 20th century alone, the population in the world has grown from 1.65 billion to 6 billion.

'Having a brain' is often the comment on which the entire conversation regarding rational decisions predicate. But that is not the healthiest or ideal way of progressing with the discussion. How are the various episodes of life influencing the age of cognition? Developing skills to decipher a conundrum is the process to which every growing human is to be programmed. Gathering all the information and stooping into books all day round will not help the students develop the essential critical thinking skill.

The ability to think and perceive things the way it is and to tackle the issue at hand with ease is the height of critical thinking. Students are bound to grow into the matured zone of life with proper education and guidance through the development of such skills. Have a look into how important these skills are over the knowledge gained through the different fonts and information in the papers.

Importance of Developing Critical Thinking Skills

Critical thinking is not the skill that one develops in time with least knowledge to surround them. Everything from schooling to proper parenting and even the interaction with people from different cultures will help a person in building an impregnable and robust personality. The relevance of critical thinking applies in the domains of career, acquiring knowledge and skills of language and self-understanding, and creativity.

Attaining critical thinking skills will undoubtedly help a person in tackling the day-to-day challenges in his/her profession and deal with career-related issues irrespective of the nature of their job.

With the changing face of the economy, one has to develop skills to move according to the trends. Keeping track of the hikes and drops in the economy is as important as learning to plan their money-handling.

Language and presentation skills only improve with developing critical skills. Expressing ideas and opinions takes a more refined path when it is backed by rational thinking.

Through reasoning and proper speculations and deductions of the imminent perils or consequences, everyone will develop a skill to deal with the issue creatively rather than being impulsive with it. New ideas in every domain of work usually stem out of people with strong critical thinking skills.

Self-reflecting gets easier with enhanced skills in critical thinking. Trying to understand oneself and to structure life according to the conscience gets more organized with these skills.

How to Instill Within the Students These Skills

Try and make the students understand the importance of setting goals for life and preparing themselves for it. Gradually instil within them the practices that lead to a skillful life.

Self-awareness is as equally important as helping them with the goals. Ask them to write a diary which will undoubtedly help them in developing a better personality through these skills that are attained.

Skepticism wouldn't help the students, but genuine doubts and self-questioning about the works that they get involved in will surely help them.

Limiting the students to just one avenue of solving a problem or one source of knowledge will undermine the efforts of both students and teachers. Let them explore and have them exposed to a broader spectrum.

Pencil Code is a collaborative programming site for drawing art, playing music, and creating games. It is also a place to experiment with mathematical functions, geometry, graphing, webpages, simulations, and algorithms. Programs are open for all to see and copy.

Watch a video overview or watch a video tutorial.

The main language is Coffeescript. Professional software engineers use Coffeescript to build complex websites, but Coffeescript code can also be very simple.

Pencil Code can also be used to explore and learn Javascript, HTML, and CSS: when you are ready, just find the "gear" button to adjust languages.

Programs preload the pencilcode library to use turtle graphics functions. Pencil Code is all open source.
