 Estimating Answers
To answer the following questions decide which multiple of 10 each number is closest to and then add or subtract
the numbers. Trying to answer quickly will help you to practise estimating rather than working the answer out.

Example
1. 32 + 59 =
My estimate: 30 + 60 = 90

Estimating Addition:

1. 32 + 59 = 2. 23 + 28 =

My estimate: + = My estimate: + =

3. 51 + 53 = 4. 81 + 33 =

My estimate: + = My estimate: + =

5. 89 + 27 = 6. 59 + 92 =

My estimate: + = My estimate: + =

7. 132 + 19 = 8. 88 + 109 =

My estimate: + = My estimate: + =

9. 127 + 152 = 10. 353 + 281 =

My estimate: + = My estimate: + =

Page 22 of 27
Estimating Subtraction:

1. 58 - 32 = 2. 79 - 22 =

My estimate: - = My estimate: - =

3. 104 - 51 = 4. 121 - 33 =

My estimate: - = My estimate: - =

5. 129 - 27 = 6. 229 - 92 =

My estimate: - = My estimate: - =

7. 132 - 17 = 8. 288 - 109 =

My estimate: - = My estimate: - =

9. 257 - 152 = 10. 353 - 281 =

My estimate: - = My estimate: - =

 Exemplary Calculation Procedure
Estimating, Answering and Checking with Inverse Operation

1. Begin by estimating your answer using the nearest multiple of 10 for each number.
2. Perform the exact calculation using your chosen method.
3. Check that your answer is close to your estimate.
4. Check your answer is correct by working backwards using the inverse operation.
