Estimating Division Problems Practice

The video tutorial focuses on practicing estimation for multi-digit division problems. It provides two examples: estimating 794 divided by 18 and 722 divided by 68. The instructor demonstrates how to round numbers to make mental calculations easier, emphasizing the importance of approximation over exact answers. The video encourages viewers to practice estimating without using paper or calculators, highlighting the thought process behind choosing numbers that are easy to divide mentally.

Why is it important to practice estimating multi-digit division problems?

• To avoid using calculators

• To improve mental math skills

• To always get the exact answer

• To make math more complicated

What is the first step in estimating 794 divided by 18?

• Divide 794 by 18 directly

• Round 794 to 800 and 18 to 20

• Use a calculator

• Subtract 18 from 794

How can you simplify 800 divided by 20 in your head?

• By multiplying both numbers by 10

• By dividing both numbers by 10

• By adding both numbers

• By subtracting both numbers

What is the estimated result of 794 divided by 18?

• Close to 40

• Exactly 40

• Exactly 84

• Exactly 400

What numbers do you round to when estimating 722 divided by 68?

• 700 and 70

• 720 and 70

• 700 and 60

• 720 and 60

What is the estimated result of 722 divided by 68?

• Close to 20

• Exactly 20

• Close to 10

• Exactly 10

Why might your estimated answer not match the exact answer?

• Because estimation is not precise

• Because you made a mistake

• Because division is hard

• Because numbers are unpredictable

What should you do if your estimated answer is not listed as an option?

• Choose any option

• Choose the closest option

• Skip the question

• Recalculate using a calculator

What is the main goal of estimating division problems?

• To get a close approximation

• To make math more difficult

• To practice using calculators

• To find the exact answer

What is a key benefit of practicing estimation?

• It makes math more challenging

• It improves your mental math skills

• It makes you faster at exact calculations

• It helps you avoid mistakes
