Summary
Your students will use estimation strategies to figure out how many parking spots are there in the parking structure at Disneyland? And you bet I reveal the real answer!
- Students create three guesses: too high, too low, and a reasonable guess. This is a low-anxiety starting point that anyone can attempt.
- Using a high-contrast version of the photo, students generate a few strategies for estimating the number of spots. They will note the potential inaccuracies with each strategy.
- Upon learning that the structure has six levels, students will revise their best estimate.
- Students learn the real answer and then attempt to calculate how much money the parking structure brings in per year.
- After learning the real answer, students are left with a final question: how many *people* park in the lot. And how much money do they generate in ticket sales?
