    Mathematics

    I can estimate by rounding to check whether my answer makes sense.

    Look: 296 + 517

    1. Round each number to the nearest hundred: 300 and 500.
    2. Estimate: 300 + 500 = 800.
    3. Exact: 296 + 517 = 813. It is close to 800, so it makes sense.

    Round to the nearest hundred and estimate. Then solve exactly and write reasonable or recheck.

    1. 1.

      387 + 214

    2. 2.

      712 − 288

    3. 3.

      455 + 329

    Use an estimate to check each answer.

    1. 4.

      Kai got 513 for 296 + 317. Is that reasonable?

    2. 5.

      Hana has 5 bags of 8 apples and picks 21 more. Estimate, then solve exactly.
