The result is less accurate, but easier to use.
This is the common method
* Decide which is the last digit to keep
* Increase it by 1 if the next digit is 5 or more (this is called rounding up)
* Leave it the same if the next digit is less than 5 (this is called rounding down)
Example: 243 rounded to the nearest ten is 240 (because 3 is less than 5)
And estimating is a close guess of the actual value, usually with some thought or calculation involved.
Example: Alex estimated there were 10,000 sunflowers in the field by counting rows.
Hope the definitions and examples helped you understand that estimating and rounding are not the same thing. Love,

No its not because Rounding- finding the nearest 5,10,100,1000 and so on and Estimating- is making an educated guess and that's coming from a 6th grader. So theres the answer

No, it is not. Estimating may be rounding but need not be.
What is the relationship of rounding and estimating?
Rounding, you see the number and just make it look neater or easier to use. Estimating, you guess a number.
What is estimating NOT as helpful when multiplying very small numbers?
It is - if you use appropriate rounding. Rounding does not have to be to whole numbers.

Is measuring the same as estimating?
No. Measuring is getting an exact length. Estimating is guessing what the length is
Is estimating the same as rounding off and why?
No, it is not. Estimating may be rounding but need not be.
How are estimating and rounding the same?
They are not.
How does estimating using only the first digit in the greatest place compare with rounding to the greatest place?
it's the Same thing
Why is estimating better than rounding?
Estimating is neither better nor worse than rounding. The two are used for different purposes.
What is the relationship of rounding and estimating?
Rounding, you see the number and just make it look neater or easier to use. Estimating, you guess a number.
What means estimating and starts with an R?
Rounding?
How are estimating and rounding different?
Estimating is a guess that should be close to the answer. Round is rounding a number up to the nearest ten, hundred. Example $345.89 round to the nearest dollar is $345.

How can we Estimating Products?
By rounding the factors, then quickly multiplying them in your head.
Why you need to use rounding?
if you had an adding sum we would use it and if you were estimating

How does an underestimate relate to rounding factors before estimating?
Rounding factors can lead to underestimates or overestimates: the outcome depends on the rounding.
