Length
In this estimating lengths learning exercise, students observe problems with pictures and lengths and choose the length that gives the best estimate. Students solve 9 problems.
Curated OER
How Does Water Cool?
How fast does water cool? First fifth graders will draw a line on a graph that predicts how fast they think water can cool from boiling. Then they plot the actual data on the same graph to see if their estimate was correct.
Curated OER
Estimate and Check
In this estimation worksheet, students estimate numbers of items shown in pictures, then circle given groups of items, count and write totals.
Curated OER
Estimate High and Low: Compatible Numbers
In this estimation worksheet, students read about compatible numbers and complete a chart, estimating quotients and determining if estimations were "over or under." Students then answer questions related to the chart.
Curated OER
Estimate Using Tens
In this estimate using tens worksheet, 2nd graders match three sets of toys with 3 jars by estimating using tens and reading the label on the jar.
Curated OER
Estimate or Exact?
In this estimate or exact instructional activity, learners complete word problems where they either estimate or find the exact number. Students complete 3 word problems.
Curated OER
Round and Estimate
For this estimation and rounding worksheet, students estimate sums or differences by rounding to the nearest hundred mile, then find the total distance from one given spot to another.
Curated OER
Estimate and Measure Length
For this length worksheet, students estimate how many cubes long items are, then measure, record and compare actual lengths. Houghton Mifflin text is referenced.
Curated OER
Estimate Sums
In this estimating sums worksheet, students solve 6 word problems where they estimate the sum of 3 digit numbers by rounding to the nearest 10, 100 or 1000.
Curated OER
