estimation jar By Ramie

I used an estimation jar every week last year. I started the year with big items like tennis balls and pairs of socks. As the year moved along the items got smaller. Some other ideas are wads of paper, golf balls, unifix cubes, or wash cloths. I even sent the jar (mine was pastic) home over the weekend with a student to fill. They loved being the only one who knew the total.
