Why get the bundle
- Estimating grows with variety. Cards, bingo and color-by-code give children many sums to round.
The problem
25 + 38 is about 70, not 60
Estimating is rounding first and adding second. Children round only one number, round the wrong way, or add the exact numbers.
Rounding 25 down
25 is halfway between 20 and 30 and rounds up to 30. Children hesitate at the 5.
Rounding only one number
Rounding 38 to 40 and keeping 25 gives 65. Both numbers need rounding.
Adding the exact numbers
Some children add 25 + 38 and call it the estimate. The goal is a quick, near answer.
Each question has three close choices, such as 60, 70 and 80. Children round each number to the nearest ten, add the rounded numbers and pick the match.

Questions
Before you buy.
How close are the choices?
Close, such as 60, 70 and 80, so students must round carefully.
Does it include exact adding?
No, the focus is estimates. Exact sums are in our addition sets.
How do I get the file?
The download link appears right after checkout and lands in your inbox at the same time. One PowerPoint file you can open in Google Slides.
Can I share it with my class?
Yes — one teacher can use it with their own students, this year and next. Sharing the file with other teachers needs a separate license.
Do I need Google Slides?
No. The file is a PowerPoint (.pptx). It opens in PowerPoint, and in Google Slides once you upload it to Google Drive.
