1. Rules and exercises to estimate numbers to tens, hundreds, or thousands

2. Rounding to Tens When estimating to tens look at the ones digit. If the digit is 5 or more, the rounding goes up. If the ones digit is 4 or less, the rounding goes down. 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14, all become 10 15,16, 17, 18, and 20, all become 20

3. Now, try to estimate to tens on your own 23121 34234 45365 56829 67283 88507 91756

4. These are the right answers. How many did you get right? 2320121120 3430234230 4550365370 5660829830 6770283280 8890507510 9190756760

5. ESTIMATING TO HUNDREDS When estimating to hundreds, the tens digit determine if the estimate goes up or down. Like in the rounding to ten, if the tens digit is 5 or more, the estimate goes up. If the tens digit is 4 or less, the estimate goes down. 123, 135, 109, 149, all go down to 100 150, 161, 172, 183, 199, all go up to 200

6. Now, you try to round to hundreds 102 134 145 187 298 980 875 808 1,4532,354 2,6543,765 7,3458,543 9,2309,999

8. Estimating Thousands When estimating to thousands, the hundreds digit is the one that determines if the number goes up or down. If the hundreds digit is 5 or more the estimation goes up. If the hundreds digit is 4 or less, the estimation goes down. 1,209, 1389, 1451, and 1499 all become 1,000 2,500, 2,676, 2,765, and 2999 all become 2,000

9. Now, try to estimate to thousands 1,59832,456 3,46347,678 4,87569,087 5,70978,234 7,08912,909 4,32387,109 6,67590,534
