 What I Need to Know

Good morning! It is nice to see you again!

Do you know that estimation is part of our
everyday experience? For a student like you
estimating is an important skill. First and foremost it
would be able for you to determine if your answer
is in the reasonable stage.
In planning project, it is important to
estimate the quantity of materials to be used and
the cost involved. Doing estimates will help you
to make the right decisions so that there won’t be
any waste of effort, money and time.

Learning Competencies:
1. Practice the fundamentals of arithmetic operations
2. Estimate cost of project materials

Learning objectives:
1. Perform fundamentals of arithmetic operations.
2. Estimate the cost of project materials based on current price.

What’s New
ESTIMATE APPROPRIATE QUANTITIES

Did you know class that estimation is a great

help in doing your project? Estimation is the rough
calculation of the value, number, quantity or extent
of something. But what is the main purpose of
estimating?

Class, the main purpose of estimating is to be

aware of the quantity of material and the cost. This
can help you make right decisions so that there won’t
be any effort, money and time wasted.
 In estimating you should determine the number of
product to be made and the size of the cloth if it is 36”,
45”, or 60” width. For example an organizer measuring
12”x 30” with three patch pockets of different designs. For
one yard of a 45 width cacha cloth you can make two
organizers. So for one organizer you can use ½ yard of a
cacha cloth. Estimated cost of cloth is Php.60

The table below shows materials estimated and the

cost good for one project.

Quantity Materials Unit Price Total Cost

½ yard Cacha (45” width) 60.00 30.00
¼ Manila Paper 7.00 2.00
1 spool Thread (small) 5.00 5.00
Total Cost= 37.00

The table below shows materials estimated and the cost good for twelve
products to be produced.

Quantity Materials Unit Price Total Cost

12 yards Cacha (45” width) 60.00 720.00
3 pcs Manila Paper 7.00 21.00
1 spool Thread (big) 35.00 35.00
Total Cost= 766.00
