Max Maths, Year 2, Try it, Estimating numbers to 100

In the 'Max Maths' Year 2 book, young learners are encouraged to develop their estimation skills with a fun and interactive activity. The 'Let's Try It' section invites children to estimate the number of counting blocks presented to them before verifying their guess by counting each block one by one. This exercise not only helps students to sharpen their ability to make educated guesses about quantities but also reinforces their counting skills as they compare their estimate to the actual number of blocks. It's a hands-on approach that combines visual learning with practical application.

The second part of the activity follows a similar format, this time asking children to estimate the number of dots shown. After making their initial estimate, students are then tasked with counting the dots individually, which provides a great opportunity for them to practice accuracy in counting and to understand the concept of estimation versus actual count. This exercise is a simple yet effective way to engage children in mathematical thinking. For further practice and more detailed activities, the workbook directs students to pages 8 and 9, where they can continue their learning journey with additional exercises.
