Estimate and Measure with Chef Pierre

This interactive site demonstrates to students how to estimate and measure using nonstandard units. In this case, Chef Pierre explains how to estimate the length of his baking pans using cinnamon rolls. First, Chef Pierre explains the differences between estimating and measuring and the benefits of estimation in baking. Students are then allowed to explore the lengths of four different pans by placing cinnamon rolls next to them. Students are then asked to estimate the length of pans and test their estimate by measuring.
