Estimating Products

Steps: Round multi-digit factors to the greatest place value. Multiply the front end digits of the rounded number. Count your zeros in the factors, and add them to the product.

Examples Round multi-digit factors to the greatest place value. 46 x 5 = ? 50 x 5 = ? 5 x 5 = 25 250 2) Multiply the front end digits of the rounded number. 3) Count your zeros in the factors, and add them to the product.

Examples Round multi-digit factors to the greatest place value. 32 x 7 = ? 30 x 7 = ? 3 x 7 = 21 210 2) Multiply the front end digits of the rounded number. 3) Count your zeros in the factors, and add them to the product.

Examples Round multi-digit factors to the greatest place value. 695 x 4 = ? 700 x 4 = ? 7 x 4 = 28 2800 2) Multiply the front end digits of the rounded number. 3) Count your zeros in the factors, and add them to the product.

Examples Round multi-digit factors to the greatest place value. 327 x 9 = ? 300 x 9 = ? 3 x 9 = 27 2700 2) Multiply the front end digits of the rounded number. 3) Count your zeros in the factors, and add them to the product.

Examples Round multi-digit factors to the greatest place value. 1923 x 6 = ? 2000 x 6 = ? 2 x 6 = 12 12000 2) Multiply the front end digits of the rounded number. 3) Count your zeros in the factors, and add them to the product.

Examples Round multi-digit factors to the greatest place value. 47 x 63 = ? 50 x 60 = ? 5 x 6 = 30 3000 2) Multiply the front end digits of the rounded number. 3) Count your zeros in the factors, and add them to the product.

Examples Round multi-digit factors to the greatest place value. 613 x 31 = ? 600 x 30 = ? 6 x 3 = 18 18000 2) Multiply the front end digits of the rounded number. 3) Count your zeros in the factors, and add them to the product.

58 people are invited to the party; you are going to buy supplies 58 people are invited to the party; you are going to buy supplies.  You figure that for each person you need 2 cups, 2 plates, and 3 napkins. Approximately, how many cups, plates, and napkins do you need?   (cups) 58 x 2 = (plates) 58 x 2 = (napkins) 58 x 3 = (cups) 60 x 2 = (plates) 60 x 2 = (napkins) 60 x 3 =

(cups) 60 x 2 = 120 (plates) 60 x 2 = 120 (napkins) 60 x 3 = 180

A can of beans costs $0. 29. A bag of lentils costs $0. 42 A can of beans costs $0.29.  A bag of lentils costs $0.42.  Estimate which is cheaper: to buy 8 cans of beans or to buy 5 bags of lentils. (beans) $0.29 x 8 (lentils) $0.42 x 5 (beans) $0.30 x 8 (lentils) $0.40 x 5

(beans) $0.30 x 8 = $2.40 (lentils) $0.40 x 5 = $2.00 The beans cost more than the lentils.
