 * Read the word problem below carefully.**

Yikes! Miss Babineau dropped her entire bag of skittles all over the floor! Before she cleaned her mess, she tried to estimate the number of skittles that she spilled. She wanted to answer the following questions: a. What is a reasonable benchmark that Miss Babineau could use? b. About how many skittles did she drop?



a. A reasonable benchmark could be 10. b. She spilled about 110 skittles. I know this because I counted ten skittles in the front and skip counted by ten eleven times. I know that 10x11=10.

Find a picture online that would demonstrate 20 being a logical benchmark. Save this picture in a word document.
