Which set should I use? Watch this YouTube video for more information about the charts. https://youtu.be/pzPby1HUSQs Esti-Mysteries are already working well for my class. Use slides 2-7 if Esti-Mysteries are already working well for you. These slides are exactly the same with no changes. You re students already have a way of writing down their estimates and are responding to each clue. They may be using a digital platform to record their thinking, or are writing on paper, or are using a dry erase board or chart or they have another way of responding to clues in writing. You probably already notice that when students write down their estimate after each clue that it helps to propel rich math talk and also builds anticipation for the next clue. If this sounds familiar, then I recommend using slides 1-6. FURTHER OPTIONS FOR DISTANCE LEARNING I need a chart for everyone to see, and I have a way to digitally write on it. Use slides 8-13 if you simply need an embedded chart to write on during discussion. This may be particularly useful for distance learning if students do not have easy access to a chart. Perhaps they don t have a chart at home, or they may not be able to easily navigate between tabs to a digital chart. You can use a digital pen (such as a drawing feature) to record ideas from student discussions and cross out numbers for the whole class to see at the same time. I need a step-by-step animated chart that eliminates numbers after every clue. Use slides 14-19 if you want to see numbers disappear from the chart after every clue. This may be helpful if you need a chart and don t have an easy way to digitally write on the chart. You can move forward and backward to see which clues eliminated which numbers.
A local store recently finished a construction project. As I was walking through the store, I saw several brand new, unopened boxes of earplugs for sale. I wondered if they were extra items that had been intended for use during the project. When I saw them, I realized they would be perfect for making Esti-Mysteries. So I purchased several boxes. They may have wondered why somebody needed so many earplugs. Thunderclap Important Note: If you can see this box, then the slide show is not playing and the reveal won t work. Here is the solution: If you are using PowerPoint, click on Slide Show, then click on From Current Slide. If you are using Google Slides, click on View then Present.

How many earplugs are in the glass? As the clues appear, use the information to narrow the possibilities to a smaller set. After each clue, use estimation again to determine which of the remaining answers is the most reasonable. Write down your first estimate. After each clue, you ll see if your estimate is still a possibility. After each clue, if it is no longer possible write down a new estimate and be prepared to explain why you chose it.

Clue #1 Clue #1 and less than 71. The answer is greater than 30 Clue #2 Clue #2 Count by 5 s from 5 to 70. The answer is one of those numbers. Clue #3 Clue #3 Count by 10 s from 10 to 70 and cross off those numbers. Clue #4 Clue #4 the digit 4. The answer does not include Clue #5 Clue #5 The answer has two different digits.

After seeing the clues, you have narrowed the possibilities to a small set of numbers. Before you see the answer, select your final estimate. Write it down, and explain to someone why you chose that number. Steve Wyborney www.stevewyborney.com
