We imagined that Room 5 had been for a walk on a muddy day. How many pieces of newspaper would we need to be able to put all our shoes on them to dry?
We talked about how to make an estimate based on how many of us were in the class today and how big our shoes are. We decided that we needed to use the large sheets of newspaper and we would definitely need more than one. Then in our groups we tried to work it out.

| "Should we have a girls sheet and a boys sheet?" |
 |
| "Our shoes are big but we can fit on 8 pairs so we need to count in 8s" |
We decided that we might need to have three sheets. So we tested it out with all our shoes to check.
 |
| Two sheets is enough! |
