Summarizing the Lesson

  • How might you estimate the number of people in a large crowd?

After students have had a chance to discuss their strategies, ask a few students to share their strategies.

  • Do you think some of the people are moving?
  • How are you going to account for this?
  • How might you measure a sample of people? (Possible response: Choose a smaller area like the number of people in a block or in a row.)
