Rick, I see you have had some excellent responses, on par with SAC members.
Let me propose another resource - Brian Skiff. He, in all probability,
could get you an accurate figure that is, almost, faster than a speeding
bullet. But then looking up the information for yourself is a fun project.
Regardless of your process let us know what you find.

Subject: [AZ-Observing] How many Asteroids?
All,
Lindsay's Science curriculum this year has an astronomy unit that will focus
on the Solar System. I've offered to do a presentation for the class when
they get to that unit. My working title is "Not Your Dad's Solar System".
The theme will be the advances in what we know about the solar system now
compared to when I was in 7th grade (1972, yeah, I'm old). One of the
comparisons is the growth in how many asteroids there are now vs. how many
were know back then. Any ideas where I can dig this up?
Thanks
Clear Skies
