Mathematicians go on a virtual shopping trip in an interactive designed to boost the concept of estimation. Scholars read and answer five questions—multiple-choice, true or false, and a discussion—with help from a drag-and-drop shopping spree of oranges, sweets, and watermelons. A discussion tasks pupils to think about when the best time to round numbers.
