No,Rounding means reducing the digits in a number while trying to keep it's value similar.

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

What do you call a method of estimating or thing that shares the same qualities in math?

In mathematics, a method of estimating is often referred to as an &quot;approximation.&quot; An approximation shares qualities such as being close to the actual value while being simpler or easier to compute. Techniques like rounding, linearization, or using significant figures can all be considered forms of approximation in mathematical contexts.
