Your little brother has to write one sentence for each of his 10 spelling words. He does not know how long it will take him to write all 10 sentences. He wants to finish his sentences before his favorite television program. Explain to your little brother:

how he can figure out how long it takes to write one sentence.
how he can estimate how long it will take to write all 10 sentences.

Answer 1

Your brother should count how long it takes him to write a sentence and multiply that time by the number of sentences he needs to write.

How can he counter that time?

• First, he needs to write a sentence and time the time it took him to start and finish the sentence.
• Then he must observe the number of sentences he needs to write.
• He must multiply the time recorded by the number of sentences, thus having an estimate of the time it will take to complete the activity.

Your brother must write standardized sentences with the same structure to get a more accurate prediction.
