Estimating Large Number Addition through Rounding

The video tutorial explains how to estimate the total number of eggs collected over two days by rounding the numbers to the nearest ten and then adding them. It demonstrates the process of rounding 398 to 400 and 251 to 250, and then adding these rounded numbers to get an estimated total of 650. The tutorial emphasizes the usefulness of estimation when exact numbers are not necessary.

What is the purpose of estimation in the given scenario?

• To demonstrate advanced mathematical techniques

• To learn how to count eggs
