Why Do We Estimate?
By Jane Runyon
  

1     It was time for science in Mrs. Kim's class. The children were ready. But were they ready for this?
 
2     "Please take out a piece of paper and a pencil," Mrs. Kim instructed. "We are going to have a pop quiz."
 
3     "Oh, no," wailed Laura, "I didn't study."
 
4     "You don't study for a pop quiz, silly," said Matt. "That's why it's called a pop quiz. It just pops up."
 
5     "Here is the first question," began Mrs. Kim. "How many stars are in the sky?"
 
6     No one's pencil moved. The students looked surprised.
 
7     "Here is the next question," continued Mrs. Kim. "How many grains of sand are on a beach?"
 
8     Still no pencils moved.
 
9     "Number three," said Mrs. Kim. "How many people live in our town?"
 
10     The students stared at Mrs. Kim. But Mrs. Kim just continued to ask questions.
