Estimation and Mental Math

Quick Calculations

Estimation is about making a smart guess, while mental math helps you solve problems quickly in your head. Both are helpful for checking work and solving problems fast.

How to Use Estimation

  • Round numbers to the nearest ten or hundred.
  • Add or subtract rounded numbers to get close to the answer.

Why It’s Useful

Estimation and mental math make it easier to handle tricky math in your daily life, like figuring out if you have enough money to buy something.

Examples

  • Rounding $3.89 to $4.00 to estimate your total at the store.

  • Adding 50 + 30 in your head to quickly check your answer.
