"I Excel in Math"

October's Estimation Jar was filled with candy corn taffy. After estimates were made, students drew tally marks for the given data. Tally marks is a review skill for fifth graders, so I tried to add some fun with the estimation jar.  

 

Brian was the winner of 53 pieces of taffy. He is now a big fan of tally marks!
