Mrs. Gowers' first grade class finished their estimation/magnitude unit with estimating the number of fruit loops in a bag! Students made an estimation and then verified their estimations. They also sorted their fruit loops by color to make 10 frames. However, they said the best part was being able to eat the fruit loops!
