Rounding, you see the number and just make it look neater or easier to use. Estimating, you guess a number.

Is estimating the same as rounding off and why?

No, it is not. Estimating may be rounding but need not be.


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.


What is the difference to rounding and estimating?

Rounding involves adjusting a number to a specified degree of accuracy, typically to make calculations simpler, such as rounding 4.7 to 5. Estimating, on the other hand, involves making an approximate calculation or judgment about a quantity without exact precision, often using rounded numbers to quickly assess a situation. While rounding gives a precise value based on a rule, estimating provides a broader, more flexible approach to understand or analyze quantities.

Is rounding the same thing as estimating?

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.
