Abstract
The all-too-familiar picture of estimation in the primary-grade classroom involves a jar of marbles. Students are required to make “guesses” and “estimates” related to the quantity of marbles that the jar contains. This article examines the known methods of estimation, considers several types of estimation, and attempts to characterize fruitful in-class estimation tasks for young learners by exploring the validity and possible extensions of “marble jar” estimation.
