11 Reasons to Purchase the Course

1. You love to hear joy and cheering in the math classroom!

When your students celebrate their mathematical experience, you celebrate with them.  You also love when they ask you for another question.

2. You enjoy creating questions.

Perhaps you enjoy working with Google Slides or with PowerPoint.  Either way, this course is designed with you in mind.

3. You love finding a great deal!

In addition to having access to the course, you'll be able to download 100 ready-to-use estimation clipboards!

4. You enjoy taking pictures!

Maybe you even keep pictures on your camera roll for a long, long time just so you will have them for later.

5. You have things on your shelves that you know could create a rich estimation experience for your students.

If you just had a format to put them into, you could turn those objects into rich questions.

6. You enjoy getting a free bonus.

The course comes with 100 (one hundred!) Estimation Clipboards that have already been created and are completely ready to use.  With just 3 quick downloads, you'll have all of them on your computer ready to use whenever you want!

7. You know estimation is very important, but it just doesn't seem possible to create an estimation jar every day - or even every week.

Now you can quickly provide multiple estimation experiences to your students.  Except, this isn't the kind of estimation where students write down a guess - and then find out later if they were correct or not.  Instead they are writing, reasoning, discussing, comparing and estimating.

8. At some point, you have wondered how Steve has the time to create all of these materials.

I have heard from you - again and again.  So many of you have stepped in to support my efforts to provide materials to classrooms around the world.  Thank you!  This course is a key way that I am able to keep that effort going!  

I am sticking with you - creating new materials as often as possible - and I want to say THANK YOU for your support!

9. You love learning.

Perhaps you have used Estimation Clipboards before and you are curious:  "How are they created?"

"How are the rocks changing places inside that container?  Nothing else has moved.  How does it work?"

10. You are busy - and you need the kind of course access that never expires so you can get to it when you have time.

Yes, you want the 100 Estimation Clipboards - and yes, you also want to learn how to create Estimation Clipboards.  

But you don't have much time.

You would love to have the 100 estimation clipboards now... and then be able to access to the course when it works for you.  

You'll have ongoing access to the course.  Your course access never expires.

11. You enjoy the estimation experience.

You enjoy solving the Estimation Clipboards - either before your students see them or while they are solving them.

You wonder about what the next number might be and sometimes you let your students hear your reasoning.
