Magnitude Estimate – An estimate to the answer of a problem; it tells you whether the answer is the tenths, ones, tens, hundreds, thousands . . .

3. Steps Sample Problem: 14 x 17 = ?
Round each of the factors so that there is one number followed by zero(es).
Ex > 10
x17 -> 20
Solve the estimate to find the place value of the product.
10 x 20 = 200; the answer is in the hundreds.

4. Additional Practice 4. 20 x 30 = 600 18 x 21 7 x 6,245 99 x 2
The answer is in the hundreds.
2. 10 x 6,000 = 60,000
The answer is in the ten-thousands.
x 1 = 100
The answer is in the hundreds
x 30 = 600
The answer is in thehundreds
