Maths - Estimating Capacity - How many cups to fill a IL bottle?

We practiced using our estimation skills this week to predict the capacity (liquid volume) of different glass bottles.  We got to take turns testing out our predictions of how many cups or 1/2 cups it would take to fill each bottle. Some of our guesses were correct but others needed to be changed! Our estimation skills got better the more we practiced.
