Counting Beans

Today we began our second math unit by counting beans. Mrs. Fischer had a sandwich sized baggies of little white beans and we estimated how many were inside. Our estimates ranged from 70 to 7,000! Then we collaboratively organized the individual beans into cups of ten and leftover ones. Finally, we worked together to turn our tens into hundreds, and eventually thousands! We counted 1,444 beans! Unbelievable!
