Estimation with Decimals
Today we began estimating with decimal values. Notes and homework problems below. :)
Homework:
The word problems on the homework are a bit tricky. Do your best and contact me via ig if you have questions. We will review in class tomorrow. We will have a small graded assignment on Wednesday on rounding, comparing, ordering and estimating with decimal values. Have a good night!

More Estimating!
Classes were crazy short today, so here is some help with the first few problems of the HW! Remember that you may use your orange sheet if it helps!
Adding and Subtracting: Estimate by rounding each number to the highest COMMON place value. Basically round both numbers to the biggest place value that they BOTH have.
ex: 17.92 + 182.034
since both numbers have a digit in the tens place (underlined), we would round to the tens.
20 + 180 = 200
Multiplying: Estimate by rounding EACH number to its OWN highest place value. Basically, use as many zeros as possible!
ex: 5.67 x 41.08376
round the first number to the ones place and the second number to the tens place
6 x 40 = 240
Dividing: Estimate by using compatible numbers. Round the divisor first and then search for a compatible number for the dividend.
ex: 41.03 / 7.15
round the 7.15 to 7 and then think about multiples of 7. Since 42 is a multiple of 7 and is reasonably close to 41.03, we round it to 42.
42 / 7 = 6
Tomorrow we will have a short graded class assignment. You should know the following topics to be ready to do awesome on the graded class assignment:

Tomorrow we will have a short graded class assignment. You should know the following topics to be ready to do awesome on the graded class assignment:
- Writing decimals in word form and number form.
- example: thirty and seventy-two tenths = 30.72
- Representing a decimal value on a grid.
- Basic estimating strategies with decimals
- Round decimal values.
- Comparing and ordering decimal values.
That's it!!!
Have a good night!

Estimating with Decimals
After taking yesterday off, we got back into math mode and began estimating decimals today. Here are the notes and examples from class:
I'm not sure what will happen as far as school tomorrow, but please complete your homework, the rounding/estimating side of the worksheet. Remember that #1 has a typo and should look like this instead:
We will have a graded class assignment this Friday, so spend some time looking over the topics we have covered in our decimal unit so far.
Have a good, safe, warm night! I hope to see you tomorrow!
