Lego Jar



How many pieces of Lego in the Lego jar?

This week, we will be estimating how many pieces of Lego there are in the jar. Every day I will give you another clue to help you guess how many pieces there are.
Today, we don't have a clue... We are each going to have a look at the jar and guess how many pieces there are. You have to tell me WHY you think there are that many!!

  9. My guess or estimate is 66. This is 6 pieces more than Jacob's guess. I like Jacob's guess. I think we will both be very close to the correct amount.

  10. Hi Nancy, we can see 12 yellow pieces. But we think there might be more in the middle and we can't see without opening the jar.

    The clue today is:
    THE NUMBER IS BETWEEN 25 and 80 PIECES OF LEGO.
    I WONDER IF YOUR ESTIMATE WILL CHANGE!!!!

  12. Clue #3 - The last number in the answer is the number zero.
    We worked out, the answer must be: 10 ,20. 30, 40 , 50. 60. 70. 80, 90 or 100
    Here are our new guesses:
    i Think there is 70 - Patrick
    I think there is 60 - Talia
    I think there is 80 - Owen

  13. Clue number 3:
    There are;
    2 extra long pieces
    5 long pieces
    16 medium pieces
    14 small pieces
    23 mini pieces
    Mykah said the best way to work out the answer is to add them together. Isabelle said we could use a calculator, so we did!
    We used the numbers of the clue and the + button to put all the numbers together, and guess what the answer is....
    60!!!!!!!!
    Lots of people guessed that there were 60 pieces of lego in the jar, well done!
    We double checked the answer by counting them all.

    We all thought the lego activity was so much fun!
    Thankyou for playing with us!
