1. Malia M's Jumping problem: http://maliadp.weebly.com/estimation-station---judge-the-jumps.html
If the kid jumped ten times in seven seconds, we can assume that he will jump 20 times in 15 seconds. With use of a calculator, I was able to find that the kid would jump about 80 times in one minute and 1600 times in 20 minutes. This was a really straight forwards problem because we were able to see the speed at which the kid jumped. I proceeded this by watching the video and using basic math to find the long term answers.
2. Tess' moose question: https://sites.google.com/a/hightechhigh.org/tess-herzog-dp/12th-grade/math/free-think-friday/estimation?pli=1
I would say that the Iphone 5s is about ten inches tall. I don't know this for a fact, which causes some discomfort in my answer. The moose seemed to be about half the size, take a little. It is with low confidence that I announce the moose to be roughly 4.5 inches tall.
3. Crystal's lion head problem: http://crystal-dp.weebly.com/estimation-station
Crystal is five foot six and she takes a considerable amount of the lion head up. If, however, she were to stand directly next to it, she'd probably cover the whole thing with room to spare. I am guessing that the lion head is about 4 feet tall. For the nose, I am guessing it is a quarter of the height. Since it is a quarter of the height, the nose must be a foot tall. I am confident in my answers because I was able to get a good idea of how tall Crystal was in comparison to the lion head. I was able to picture her standing directly in front of it, at level, and was able to see an approximate comparison between the two of them.
4. Jessica's battery problem: https://sites.google.com/a/hightechhigh.org/jboensch/math/estimation-station
From 1:37 to 2:39, Jessica's phone lost a total of nine percent. This leads me to believe that her phone is losing 10 percent on the hour. Her phone, at 5:00 has 40% left, so given the fact that her phone is losing ten percent per hour, I can assume that her phone will die at about 9:00. This means that her goal of keeping her battery alive isn't going to be a possibility because her phone just doesn't want to live. I am very confident in this because I can see the proof of her battery decrease from a series of pictures that she posted.
5. Josh's car length problem: http://jdesairebruton.weebly.com/estimation-station.html
I am going to assume that you can fit about fifty cars onto the street. I am very unconfident with this answer because the picture doesn't really show a lot. However, from personal experience and seeing this street backed up next to daily, I have gotten the idea that fifty is my number. If I knew the length of the street I would be able to get an idea of how many cars there are. Given that a car is about ten feet long, I would be able to assume how many cars that I could fit if I knew the length of the street.
