  2. Estimation :Rounding Numbers can be rounded to give an approximation. The result is less accurate but easier to use. 2652 rounded to the nearest 10 is 2650. 2652 rounded to the nearest 100 is 2700. When rounding numbers which are exactly in the middle, convention is to round up. 7865 rounded to the nearest 10 is 7870.

  3. The same principle applies to rounding decimal numbers. In general, to round a number, we must first identify the place value to which we want to round. We must then look at the next digit to the right (the “check digit”) - if it is 5 or more round up - if it is less than 5 the previous number stays the same. Example 1 Round 46 753 to the nearest thousand. 6 is the digit in the thousands column - the check digit (in the hundreds column) is a 7, so round up. 46753 = 47 000 to the nearest thousand Example 2 Round 1.57359 to 2 decimal places The second number after the decimal point is a 7 - the check digit (the third number after the decimal point) is a 3, so it remains a 7. 1.57359 = 1.57 to 2 decimal places

  5. Example 1 Tickets for a concert were sold over 4 days. The number of tickets sold each day was recorded in the table below. How many tickets were sold in total? We can use rounded numbers to give us an approximate answer to a calculation. This allows us to check that our answer is sensible. Estimate = 500 + 200 + 200 + 300 = 1200 486 205 197 + 321 1209 Calculate: Answer = 1209 tickets

  6. A bar of chocolate weighs 42g. There are 48 bars of chocolate in a box. What is the total weight of chocolate in the box? Example 2 Estimate = 50 x 40 = 2000g 42 x48 336 1680 2016 Calculate: Answer = 2016g

  8. Estimation : Tolerance Tolerance is the permissible limit or limits of variation in a quantity. E.g. the liquid crystal display of a mobile phone has an operating temperature of -10°C to +60°C. This is known as the tolerance level of the screen. Example Specific sizes of bolts are required in the manufacture of cars. A certain bolt needs to be 39 mm +/- 2 mm to fit correctly. The minimum acceptable length is 39 – 2 mm = 37 mm. The maximum acceptable length is 39 + 2 mm = 41 mm.
