1. 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.

2. The Transparent Bead Scoop 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.

3. How many beads are in the bowl? 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. Steve Wyborney www.stevewyborney.com

4. Clue #1 Clue #1 The answer is a 2-digit number that is both odd and a multiple of 3. Clue #2 Eliminate any number with certain digits. To find those digits look through the transparent scoop. Clue #3 If you add the visible faces of the die, the sum is 7. The answer does not include the digit 7. Clue #2 Clue #3 Clue #4 Clue #4 The answer is not a multiple of 7. Clue #5 The answer is not 33, or 6 more than 33, or 60 more than 33. Clue #5 Steve Wyborney www.stevewyborney.com

5. 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
