Estimating means giving your best guess. Use the clues to help you make a really good guess before you actually count the number of objects.
Example
Look at the number of objects from left to right - they are going up by one each time.
If there are 12 musical notes, 11 leaves, and 10 blue flowers, then there are likely to be 9 pink flowers.
First, estimate and then count the number of pink flowers. Write the correct number below.
Answer
We have the sequence ?, 10, 11, 12
