Estimating by rounding

Mathematics · Number Representation & Place Value · procedural

Use approximation through rounding to estimate answers and calculate possible resulting errors expressed using inequality notation a < x ≤ b; understand upper and lower bounds of rounded values

What mastery looks like

  • Estimate the answer to a calculation by rounding all values appropriately
  • Calculate upper and lower bounds of a rounded measurement
  • Express error intervals using inequality notation

Check your understanding

If a length is measured as 7 cm to the nearest cm, can Estimating by rounding say the actual length could be anywhere from 6.5 cm to 7.5 cm — understanding that rounding creates a range of possible values?
