In Math Investigations today we played a game called Which Holds More. This game focuses on estimating more and less volume.
In this game, students have two different sized empty cups in front of them and they estimate which empty container they think could hold more. Then they check their estimates by filling the containers with cubes and then counting them. (Students are learning that just because a container looks taller...doesn't mean it holds more inside. If the other container is short but wide, sometimes that will hold more.)
Here are some pictures of our super "estimators" at work! :)
