Estimation and Computation

We wrapped up unit one in math today, and will be delving into computation and estimation in unit two.

By the end of the unit, students will be able to:

• Devise estimation strategies for solving problems where an exact answer isn't possible.
• Add and subtract multi-digit decimal numbers.
• Solve number stories.
• Use statistical landmarks to describe experimental data.
• Estimate the probability of events.
• Make magnitude estimates for the products of multi-digit numbers.
• Multiply multi-digit whole numbers and decimals.
• Grasp relative size of large numbers (million, billion, trillion)
