BUILDING NUMBER SENSE - MAKING AN ESTIMATION STATION

Learn why building number sense is so important in preschool and how using an estimation jar will help.

At a recent maths workshop, the presenter, Ann Baker of Natural Maths, made the point that there are three concepts children in the early years need help to consolidate - subitising, numerosity and magnitude. 

Many of my students can count above 20. Several more can count to 100. A couple of children can count past 100 but can they actually count out 100 objects accurately?

Introducing an estimation jar can be a fun way to begin looking at bigger numbers and modelling strategies for counting different amounts correctly.
