170 New Esti-Mysteries

This school year, I’ll be creating and posting 170 brand new Esti-Mysteries. I’ll be posting a new one nearly every day for the rest of the school year – just like last year. The purpose is the same as last year: Sharing math joy with you all year long!

New Estimation Clipboards

To date, I’ve created 101 estimation clipboards. They are very fun and easy to use – and your student will love them! They are also a very exciting and powerful way to build number sense. As I create more, I will post them here.

By Steve Wyborney / September 28, 2014

The mustard bottle was only inches away.  It stood on the rolling cart next to the overhead projector. The nearly blinding light from the projector shone through the transparency and was then reflected up onto the screen behind me, the screen that the students were watching intently.  My hand was smeared with blue vis-à-vis ink,…
