On the first day of school, the first thing a thought was….Village School is HUGE compared to my old school! And the bricks were lighter and the sign of Village School was newer. If Village School is this big, then the amount of students in Village School must be big. Maybe too big to be answered, but you can still make a prediction. That’s what I am going to do. I know that 3rd grade in my old school had around 150 kids. I also know that kids that go to Village School usually came from Dutch Neck and Maurice Hawk, plus kids who moved. If there was about 150 kids in 3rd grade in both Dutch Neck and Maurice Hawk, then there would about 300 kids in Village, plus 15 for people who moved. Right now, I am guessing there is about 315 4th graders in Village School. Plus 5th graders, which might be 315 too. If that's true, 4th grade and 5th grade would have a total of 630 students. Then there would be 630 students in Village School. But I need to know if my answer is reasonable. So perhaps there is 10 classes per grade, and 20 students in per class. But remember, there is 2 grades. So there would be about 20 classes in Village School. Another grade means there would probably be 20 more students in 5th grade too. 20 plus 20 is equal to 40. 40 times 20 is equal to 800. So right now I think Village School has 800 students. Plus preschoolers. I know there is less preschoolers in a class than in a 4th grade or 5th grade class. So I am guessing there is 10 kids in each preschool class. I also know there is even less preschool classes than the amount of preschoolers in a class. So I am guessing there is 5 preschool classes. 5 times 10 is equal to 50. 800 plus 50 is equal to 850. Now, I predict there is 850 kids in Village. 850 is not that close to my prediction at first, 630. Then I went to the front office to see if my prediction was accurate, and they confirmed that there are 751 students. 800 is only 49 away from 751. So my prediction was pretty accurate. But now I know, that Village School has 751 students.
