ESTIMATION

 Rounding a number to the

nearest ten
Step 1- See the ones digit of the
given number.
Step 2- If ones digit is less than 5,
replace ones digit by 0, & keep the
other digits as they are.
Step 3- If ones digit is 5, increase tens
digit by 1, & replace ones digit by 0.
 Rounding a number to the
nearest hundred
Step 1- See the tens digit of the
given number. Step 2- If tens digit is
less than 5, replace each one of
tens & ones digits by 0, & keep the
other digits as they
are.
Step 3- If this digit is 5 or more,
increase hundreds digit by 1 &
replace each digit on its right by 0.
 Rounding a number to the
nearest thousand
Step 1- See the hundreds digit of the given
number.
Step 2- If hundreds digit is less than 5,
replace each one of hundreds, tens &
ones digits by 0, & keep the other digits
as they are.
Step 3- If hundreds digit is 5 or more,
increase thousands digit by 1 & replace
each digit on its right by 0.
