Unit focus

  • Students choose rounding, front-end estimation, compatible numbers or upper/lower bounds according to the decision being made, then compare estimates with exact solutions and explain any difference.
  • Use this routine: Represent → Reason → Calculate → Interpret → Verify.
  • Watch for same rounding method used everywhere: Match estimation to purpose.
