Estimations and Approximations Projector Resources

The Money Munchers Emily doesn’t trust banks with her money. She has stored $24,400 in one-dollar bills under her mattress. Emily’s daughter tries to persuade her to take her money to the bank. “Just think of all those little bedbugs munching through your money, mom.” The thought of millions of bedbugs eating her money is too much for Emily. She decides to take the money to the bank. Emily removes the money from under the mattress. By how many inches will the mattress be lowered? Emily is taking the $24,400 to the bank in a suitcase. The suitcase measures 14” wide, 19” long and 7” deep. Will Emily have enough space for all the money in her suitcase?

Analyzing Sample Student Responses Read through the solution and make sense of how the student is solving the problem. Figure out what assumptions the student makes. Are the estimates reasonable, or way off the mark? Figure out how the student calculates an answer. Decide what is good about the solution, and how you might improve it.
