Estimate and checking sums by rounding

numbers.

Principal: Marry skarlet sultan

Assistant Principal: Olix,J4nnm

Vice Principal: Zamantha Sultan Gronsky

Supervisor: Marry flor sultan

STEP 1: Round the summands.

STEP 2: Add the rounded numbers.

STEP 3: Look at the total amount of rounding. We have rounded the

two summands down.

Pre test
1. Estimate the sum of 5,60,312 and 4,19,333 by
rounding off each number to its nearest ten
thousands.___
A. 1000
B. 2365
C. 5,60,312 rounded off to nearest ten thousand =
5,60,000

4,19,333 rounded off to nearest ten thousand = 4,20,000

Their Sum = 9,80,000

2. Estimate the sum to the nearest hundred:
(10083+29380)
A. 2670 B. Estimated value to the nearest hundreds of
10083=10080 C. 4267
3. Estimated value to the nearest hundreds of 29380=29400
Total required estimation =(10080+29400)=39500
C. I dont know
3. Estimate the sum to the nearest ten:
(57+34)
A. 94
B. Estimated value to the nearest ten of 57=60
Estimated value to the nearest ten of 34=30
Total required estimation =(60+30)=90
C. 20

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Estimation?
Estimating is not something new to us. We do it
all the time. Look at the image given below. We
can see that Eddie, in the image below, is not
exactly 2 feet tall but he is close to it. So, we
can estimate his height and say that he is about
2 feet tall.

Eddie standing next to a height chart,

approximately 2 ft tall
A few more such examples:

Estimating time: Sara walks to school from

home in about 10 minutes.

Estimating quantity: About a 1000 people will

attend the concert.
Estimating distance: The distance between New
York to San Francisco is approximately 2900
miles.

So, the question is, what is an estimate?

An estimate is an approximate calculation or

rounding of the number to the nearest place
value for the sake of convenience. There’s no
single way to define estimation. The closest
meaning of an estimation is a guess or an
assumption about a value that isn’t too far off.
What is an estimate in Math? Definition for
estimate in math is an approximate value close
enough to the correct value. A lot of guesses
are made to make math easier and clearer.

Definition of Estimation
Estimation is a rough calculation of the actual
value, number, or quantity for making
calculations easier.

Example: When taking a cab or waiting for a bill

at a restaurant, we tend to estimate the
amount to be paid.
In short, it is an approximate answer. And this
figure is often used to check the accuracy or
correctness of the final answer. Estimation
helps when a certain margin of error is allowed
in a calculation. It gives an answer without
using a calculator or written calculations. The
whole point of the exercise is for you to devise
a plausible approximation.

Most of the time, estimation in math is done by

rounding off the numbers to their closest whole
value to get a quick and simple rough answer. It
saves time and effort.

For instance, kids use estimation many times a

day without realizing it. They tend to figure out
how long they play and how long they have for
recess.

garden by counting the first row and then
multiplying it by the number of rows. She
estimated that there were 300 flowers in the
garden.
