Comparison Estimator Exploration Questions
These problems don't require extreme accuracy, only measuring more than, less than, or about the same as.
- For five of the problems, take as long as you need to make your estimates, and record if you were correct on your first try at each problem.
- For the next five problems, give yourself only 30 seconds to make your estimations, and again record if you got the correct answer on your first tries.
- Analyze your responses above. How much of a factor was time in making accurate estimations?
