The Significance of Estimation 1.Meaning of Estimation Index 5.1The Significance of Estimation 1A_Ch5(4) i.Estimation is the way of finding an approximate value of a number. In the case of a numerical expression, the value of the entire expression is estimated by taking an approximate value of each number in the expression for computation. ii.The result of estimating a numerical expression is called an estimated value or an estimate.

The Significance of Estimation 2.Reasons for Estimation Index 5.1The Significance of Estimation 1A_Ch5(5) There are many reasons for making estimation. Listed below are some of the main ones. i.To simplify calculations. ii.Limitations in measurement. iii.Value unknown. iv.Value varies. v.Estimation helps to understand the numbers better. vi.Checking reasonableness of results. + ExampleExample

Estimation Methods Index 5.2Estimation Methods and Strategies Relating to Numbers 1A_Ch5(8) 3.Special Cases When we need to apply estimation to real-life problems, we have to adjust the degree of accuracy of our estimation according to the situation. There are two ways we often use to make the adjustment. A)

Estimation Methods Index 5.2Estimation Methods and Strategies Relating to Numbers 1A_Ch5(9) i.Rounding Up Sometimes we have to make an estimated value that is slightly larger than the exact value. We always advance 1 to the place which is to be corrected to, regardless of the digit that follows. ii.Rounding Down Sometimes we have to make an estimated value that is slightly smaller than the exact value. All the digits after the place which is to be corrected to are replaced by 0. 3.Special Cases + Example Example A) + Index 5.2Index 5.2

Index 5.2Estimation Methods and Strategies Relating to Numbers 1A_Ch5(12) In each of the following, i.determine whether the underlined value in the expression should be estimated by ‘rounding up’ or ‘rounding down’; ii.write down the estimated value of the expression. (a)The volume of a box of apple juice is 254 mL. How many boxes of apple juice are needed to fill up a 1000 mL plastic box? Expression : 1000 ÷ 254 (b)Ann baked 164 cakes. She put 5 cakes in a box, how many boxes she needed to pack up all the cakes? Expression : 164 ÷ 5

Estimation Strategies Index 5.2Estimation Methods and Strategies Relating to Numbers 1A_Ch5(14) ‧ Estimation strategies help us to decide which estimation method we can use to make a better estimate. B) E.g.Estimate 11 – 2.3 – 2.1 – 2.05 – 1.91 – Take 2 as the cluster and the expression can be rewritten as 11 – 2 – 2 – 2 – 2 – 2 or 11 – (2 × 5). 1.Clustering + Example Example

Benchmark Strategies Index 5.3Estimation Strategies in Measurement 1A_Ch5(27) A) ‧ In benchmark strategies, the quantity to be measured is estimated by comparing it with a known benchmark. + ExampleExample + Index 5.3Index 5.3

Decomposition-recomposition Strategies Index 5.3Estimation Strategies in Measurement 1A_Ch5(32) B) ‧ In decomposition-recomposition strategies, the quantity to be measured is broken down into smaller parts which are estimated first. Then all these smaller parts are recomposed and the original quantity can be estimated. + Index 5.3Index ExampleExample

In the figure, the length of the corridor can be decomposed into the widths of 6 classrooms. It is estimated that the width of each classroom is about 7.5 m. Estimate the length of the entire corridor. Index 5.3Estimation Strategies in Measurement 1A_Ch5(33) The length of the entire corridor  6 × 7.5 m = 45 m

Measuring Groups of Objects Index 5.3Estimation Strategies in Measurement 1A_Ch5(36) C) ‧ In measuring objects of very small sizes, instead of making the measurement directly, we often measure a large number of such objects. The measurement we need for the small object is then obtained by division. This is called the measuring groups of objects strategy in estimation. + Index 5.3Index ExampleExample
