Estimating Products Using Rounding
Estimating Products Using Rounding is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 2: Estimate Products in enVision, Mathematics, Grade 5.
Key Concepts
Property To estimate the product of two numbers, round one or both factors to a nearby place value (like the nearest ten or hundred) to make the multiplication easier to perform mentally. The symbol $\approx$ means "approximately equal to".
Examples To estimate $48 \times 7$, round $48$ to the nearest ten, which is $50$. Then, calculate $50 \times 7 = 350$. So, $48 \times 7 \approx 350$. To estimate $32 \times 88$, round $32$ down to $30$ and round $88$ up to $90$. Then, calculate $30 \times 90 = 2700$. So, $32 \times 88 \approx 2700$. To estimate $615 \times 4$, round $615$ to the nearest hundred, which is $600$. Then, calculate $600 \times 4 = 2400$. So, $615 \times 4 \approx 2400$.
Explanation Rounding is a strategy used to find an answer that is close to the exact answer. To estimate a product, first round the factors to numbers that are easier to work with, typically by rounding to the greatest place value. After rounding, multiply the new numbers to get your estimate. This technique is useful for checking the reasonableness of an exact answer or for quickly finding an approximate value.
