Teaching Estimating Measurements
What it is
Estimating at this level means judging a length, weight, or capacity in standard units before measuring, and deciding whether a given answer is reasonable: a door about 2 meters, a bag of apples about 3 pounds.
When a child is ready
Begin once rulers and scales are used accurately and the common units are familiar.
If they struggle
Anchor each unit to something in the house: a meter is about counter height, a kilogram is about a bag of sugar, a liter is a large drink bottle. Then write the estimate, measure, and record the difference between the two numbers; watching that difference shrink over a fortnight is what actually trains the judgment.
