Estimate the tasty way with popcorn
Popcorn is a delicious tool to use to build an important math skill: estimating. Here's how: Have your child estimate how many kernels of popped popcorn it will take to fill a glass. Then, get popping and have your child count to check the answer. Now, knowing that, how many popped kernels does your child think it will take to fill a small bowl? Fill the bowl, and count the pieces as your elementary schooler eats them. How close was your child's estimate?
