What Are Estimation and Rounding?
Estimation is like making a smart guess about how many or how
much!
Rounding helps us make numbers simpler by changing them to the nearest ten or hundred. It's like
smoothing out numbers to make them easier to work with!
How to Round Numbers
1️⃣ Find your place (Are we rounding to tens or hundreds?)
2️⃣ Look next door (Check the digit to the right)
3️⃣ 5 or more? Raise the score! 4 or less? Let it rest!

Parent Tips 🌟
- Kitchen Math: When cooking, ask your child to estimate quantities ("About how many chocolate chips do you think are in this cookie?")
- Round & Add: At the store, practice rounding prices to the nearest dollar to estimate the total cost.
- Estimation Jar: Keep a jar of small items (buttons, beads) and regularly practice estimation - make it a family game!
