How Close Is Our Estimate?
Fifth graders estimate perimeter, area, and volume. They measure perimeter and area using nonstandard units of measurement. Students add and subtract non-standard units of measurement. They add mixed numbers and simplify the sum.

Google for Education: Surveys and Estimating Large Quantities
Students use estimation to approximate the size of a large set of data. By observing smaller sets and seeing patterns they make general predictions and even create algorithms capable of making approximations.
