Estimating Crowd and Population Size using Jacob's Method
This investigation delves into estimating the size of a large population of objects by taking a sample and applying some basic mathematics. It encourages sharing of data, refining methods of collection of the data and discussion about the accuracy and limitations of the method used.Jacob's Method of counting large numbers of objects is simple. Draw a grid dividing the area covered into equal size squares. Estimate (by counting) the population of one grid then multiply this by the number of squar
