Highland View ES-Ms. Dardarian's Candy Estimation Contest
If you enjoy solving math problems and love munching on scrumptious candy, our fun-loving principal, Ms. Dardarian has a special math challenge for you to solve. You will have an opportunity to estimate how many pieces of candy are in the jar designated for your grade level. The student whose guess is the closest to the actual number will receive a special treat.
Can you estimate how many pieces of candy are in the jar?

Here’s how to play:
1. Find the jar for your grade level.
2. Estimate how many pieces of candy are in the jar.
3. Write your name, your teacher’s name and your estimate on the entry ticket.
4. Put your entry ticket in the box.
5. The student who estimates the actual number, or has the closest estimate to the actual number, will win the candy jar labeled for their grade level (If there is more than one correct entry, those tickets will be put into drawing, and one name will be chosen.).
Only one estimate per student!
Good Luck!
