Estimation and Budgeting Problems

The video is a review session for a Chapter 3 test, focusing on estimation and problem-solving. It covers four main problems: estimating concert tickets, calculating the total number of math books in a shipment, determining travel distance for multiple visits, and budgeting for band uniforms. The teacher emphasizes the importance of estimation and provides strategies for solving each problem. Students are encouraged to ask questions and seek further explanations if needed.

What is the main purpose of this review session?

• To plan a class trip

• To discuss homework assignments

• To review for the Chapter 3 test

• To introduce new concepts

How many seats does the concert venue have?

• 728

• 750

• 700

• 733

What is the best estimate for the total number of tickets available for 33 shows?

• 700 times 50

• 600 times 50

• 700 times 30

• 600 times 30

Why is '600 times 30' not a good estimate for the concert problem?

• It is not a good estimate for 728 seats

• It uses the wrong number of shows

• It underestimates the number of seats

• It overestimates the number of shows

What number of cartons did Miss Turtle order?

• 128

• 130

• 50

• 46

How many books does each carton hold?

• 50

• 130

• 46

• 128

What is the estimated total number of math books in the shipment?

• 6000

• 6500

• 7500

• 7000

What is an overestimate?

• When the estimated number is too low

• When the estimated number is irrelevant

• When the estimated number is too high

• When the estimated number is exact

In the math books problem, was the estimation an overestimate or underestimate?

• Exact estimate

• Underestimate

• Irrelevant estimate

• Overestimate

What is the total distance Miss Per set would fly for 12 visits?

• 11,712 miles

• 12,000 miles

• 10,000 miles

• 11,000 miles
