MATHS - Numbers - Approximation and Estimation

The video tutorial covers approximation and estimation, focusing on rounding as a key skill. It explains how approximation involves using values that are similar but not exact, often by rounding to make calculations easier. The tutorial provides examples and practice problems, emphasizing the importance of context in approximation. It also introduces estimation, using approximation to simplify values for easier calculations, and demonstrates how to achieve integer results without a calculator.

What is the difference between approximation and estimation as discussed in the text?

Describe the process of approximating the values in the example involving 5.9 and 42.4.
