Estimating is a skill we all use in our everyday lives. Sometimes we need to make estimates on how many people will be on a train or at a specific location to help us make other reasonable decisions. It is something we often do instinctively but also incidentally.

This resource is perfect to help your students estimate the amount of people likely to be at locations they may have in their community. It connects estimating to a real-life situation where they are likely to apply the skill of estimating populations of people.
