 Learning Goal:  Research information about a current issue and put data and information into a variety of visual representations (graphs, %, fractions, numbers, images, timelines, etc).

Which has now led into probability and a lot more discussion than expected.

Students estimated how many segments were in each fruit. We used ten frames to count the segments. We kept estimating for more and more fruit and then we were able to discuss concepts of "reasonableness" and "neighbour numbers" as the students noticed that most fruit had a total close to 10 (9, 10, 11).]]> 2019-02-05 21:26:14 UTC https://padlet.com/bsherry1/szjv3fhz2nnu/wish/328033684
