Comparing and Analyzing Estimates

The video tutorial guides students through a problem where children estimate the number of beans in a jar. The exact number is 1380. The task is to determine which child's estimate is closest and which is furthest from this number. The estimates are ranked, and calculations are performed to find the closest and furthest estimates. Emma's estimate is closest, while Olivia's is furthest. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of writing the names of the children, not the numbers, in the answer boxes.
