It's an absolute last resort, asking kids to take an educated guess, but we've all done it... Well they can take an educated guess to their heart's content with this Year 4 Estimate Answers activity. Okay, so there's a little more to it than just guessing, but still encouraging children to estimate is a great way to build confidence whilst not looking for a specific answer. What's more, this resource is presented in the form a game, to help build confidence just that little further in a fun environment. A list of required resources and a set of instructions have also been provided to assist in setting this game up!
