Doing maths with corn

Screenshot 2016-03-11 at 9.41.59 AM.png

Alyssa and I were estimating the parts of a cob of sweetcorn. We first had to estimate the silk, husk, cob length and the cob rows. Then we counted to get actual amount. Our estimate with the husks was very close but the other estimates were way off. It was challenging because I didn't know that you had to use tidy numbers. We had to use tidy numbers. Working in a group helped me because I was not familiar with estimating but then Alyssa helped me. Next I would like to learn how to divide 3 digit numbers.
