Previously Published Data 

1.) Students will group the objects in a bag according to size, estimate and record the lengths, measure the objects, and then check their measurements with a partner. 

2.) Students will estimate to the nearest 10, solve the estimated problem, then calculate exactly: 

386 + 413 

972 - 517 

749 - 244 

3.) Students will estimate to the nearest 100, solve the estimated problem, then calculate exactly:  

386 + 413 

972 - 517 

749 - 244 

4.) Students will estimate to the nearest 1000, solve the estimated problem, then calculate exactly: 

3456 - 2672 

8732 - 7439 

1099 + 2497 

4501 + 3502 



Previously Published Data 

1.) Given a sheet with lines of various lengths, students will estimate each length to the nearest inch (1" to 12").  

2.) Given a set of numbers, students will estimate to the nearest 10, 100, and 1000, solve the estimated problems, then calculate the exact answers. 

3.) Given word problems that involve numbers through 1000, students will estimate, then calculate the solutions.
