Math Estimating Games, Quizzes and Worksheets for kids

Estimating - is a way we can use a figure, to get an approximate answer. Estimating is also known as rounding off the current number to the nearest whole number. Estimating teaches your children what to expect, it gives them a number in their head. Estimating is not finding the exact answer, it is about getting to the closest number possible. In maths we often face problems that do not have an exact answer, which is why it is essential to teach children what the next best thing is. Here we will teach children how to estimate correctly, and where estimating applies in maths. Just because you cannot come up with an answer, does not mean an exact answer does not exist. Furthermore, estimate can help children save money, save time, and so much more. So here we will use a few techniques to help children learn the basic concept of estimating, and how you can use it in your daily life.
