What mastery looks like

  • Estimate 487 × 23 by rounding to 500 × 20 and use this to check a calculated answer
  • Determine whether an exact answer or an estimate is more appropriate in a given context
  • Spot an unreasonable answer by comparing with a quick mental estimate

Check your understanding

Before Estimation to check answers to calculations works out a large multiplication or division, can they estimate what the answer should be roughly — and then check whether their final answer is in the right ballpark?
