In this multiplying and estimating the products worksheet, students find the products and round them to the nearest hundred. Students solve nine problems.

In this estimation worksheet, students read story problems, determine the correct operation, and mentally evaluate the problem by using compatible numbers or through the process of rounding. Students complete three multiple choice problems.

Fourth graders review rounding to the nearest ten, hundred, and thousand with this fun lesson centered around a visit to the computer lab.

Fourth graders create wish lists from catalogues and sales ads based on a given budget. They add, subtract, estimate, and budget their given amount of money so they don't go over budget.

For this successive approximations worksheet, students use the Babylonian algorithm to determine the roots of given numbers. They identify the limits of a function, and compute the rate of change in a linear function. This two-page...

In this estimation worksheet, students estimate in word problems and graphs. Students round numbers to help them complete the estimation problems.

Students practice estimating and counting and using a ruler to measure distance.

Young scholars demonstrate measurement and estimation skills. In small groups, they are given a measurement, predict what object in the classroom is equal to that specific measurement, and record their data in a table that includes the...

In this fraction estimation worksheet, students complete eight problems where they estimate the fractions to the nearest whole number. The fractions on the worksheet are mixed and improper.

Second graders become familiar with need strategies for computation of money problems and estimating sums. In this computation lesson, 2nd graders solve real life problems to understand estimation and money problems.

In this customary length worksheet, learners solve 4 problems where they must choose the better estimate of length. Students solve 12 problems where they must compare, convert and order customary lengths.

Sixth graders investigate metric measurements. In this metric measurement activity, 6th graders explore mass, capacity, and length. Students examine graduated cylinders and balance scales to obtain measurements. Resources are provided.

In this language arts learning exercise, students read 5 words in a word bank. The words seem to be related to estimation and rounding in math. Students locate the words in a word search puzzle. The meaning of the title is unclear.

In this estimation worksheet, students estimate numbers of items shown in pictures, then circle given groups of items, count and write totals. 

Students investigate distance measurement.  In this middle school mathematics lesson, students find the average length of their pace and use their pace to measure various unknown distances in feet and miles.  Students relate...

Reduce variability for more accurate statistics. Through simulation, learners examine sample data and calculate a sample mean. They understand that increasing the number of samples creates results that are more representative of the...

Increase your sample and increase your accuracy! Scholars complete an activity that compares sample size to variability in results. Learners realize that the greater the sample size, the smaller the range in the distribution of sample...

How much rain can that cloud make? Through a simulation, the class estimates the amount of candy rain contained in different cup clouds. After probing the clouds using different methods, class members adjust their estimates. Participants...

Fourth graders explore number sense by completing word problems in class. In this estimation lesson, 4th graders define terms such as sum, difference, estimate and best. Students complete estimating worksheets based on the concept of...

Fifth graders explore number sense by participating in role-playing activities. In this estimation lesson plan, 5th graders discuss reasons for estimating amounts in life and read the book Betcha. Students complete a real life estimation...

In this math worksheet, students round numbers to their leading digit. They multiply the results to find the estimation of the exact answer. Students estimate and then find the exact answer on six problems.

Students solve problems with percents, decimals and fractions. In this algebra lesson, students convert between fractions, percents and decimals. They estimate their answers and calculate their answer.

In this estimation activity, students use information about planets, given in a table, to complete a 16 question quiz. Answers are included on page 2. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Students explore how to estimate quotients and check their division with multiplication. They practice rounding the divisor and the dividend. Students compare the estimate to the exact answer and determine if it is reasonable.
