    Estimation Station {Educational Insights} Review

    By 78 Comments

    My boys (4 and 5) are curious about everything.  Right now we are working with numbers and counting and I figured the Estimation Station from Educational Insights would be a fun activity for them.  It is a set where it helps kids learn to make educated guesses.

    Estimation Station

    No more wild guesses! The Estimation Station is the perfect way to teach your students to make logical, mathematical estimates. Simply send this jar home with a student to be filled and counted. Then fill the included proportional scoop and share that number with your class. Students use that information to formulate educated estimations about the number of pieces in the jar. Clearer and easier than home-made jars with hard-to-view contents.

    • Includes 4″ plastic cube jar with locking lid and sturdy base and 2″ plastic cube scoop
    • Activity guide with a week’s worth of activities including estimation, counting, place value, comparing and ordering numbers, making predictions, graphing, statistics, and mathematical reasoning
    • Parent letter (in English and Spanish) with instructions on filling and counting the jar’s contents
    • Teaches estimation and proportionality
     
    This kit includes an Estimation Station which has the station with a lid and cup.  You pour whatever you want in the box and it makes it an easier way for kids to make educated guesses.  I admit I am always amazed at how people can make guesses on those jars of candy and other items.  I am always way off!  With this, I am trying to work on our guesses and teaching my kids with it.  I would have never thought it was something I should think about but I am amazed at what you can learn from it.  I am working on how big things (like marshmallows) take up a lot of room but count for a little and then there are items like jellybeans that you can fit a whole lot of.  My boys thought it was so funny how we added things and worked on counting with them.
    The top does come off so you can store the items or carry them along, there is a lid too that attaches to keep the items contained.  It also makes it easy to clean it.  This is great for both parents to work with or teachers.
