Lessons (2)
Introduces students to elapsed time and how to calculate it.
Introduction to various estimation methods through the simulation of a forest fire.
Activities (5)
Compare two sets of objects, using estimation to determine which is greater. Estimate a number of objects, the length of a line, or the area of a shape. Parameter: error tolerance. Comparison Estimator is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Practice finding elapsed time given a starting time and an ending time. Elapsed Time is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Given a starting time and elapsed time practice finding the ending time. Elapsed Time Two is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Practice estimation skills by determining the number of objects, the length of a line, or the area of a shape. Parameters: error tolerance of estimate. Estimator is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Practice estimation skills by determining whether the number of objects, the length of a line, or the area of a shape is more or less than the number given. Parameters: error tolerance of estimate. More or Less Estimator is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
