Various teachers take turns at putting up the "math" bulletin board. A third(?) grade teacher created this bulletin board. Students were to estimate the number of eggs in the basket. I thought it was interesting to see the students working on this. Younger students would try to count one-by-one and ended up either (a) losing count or (b) running out of known numbers! Older students were just as easily thrown by the "jumble" of eggs or they would lose patience. It seems like a (momentarily) engaging task that students could revisit more than once to try their count again. Students could submit their guesses and the closest guess was the winner. It is, in my opinion, one of the better math bulletin boards I've seen at school this year.
