 Estimation and Rounding

Estimating sums is best

done by rounding the
addends, then add.
Hong Kong = 1,078 sq. km.

Singapore= 704 sq. km.

 1,078
+ 704

Step 1- Round the addends to the highest

place value both numbers have in common.
 1,078
+ 704

The hundreds place is the largest place

value the two addends share in
common.
