Problem Solving: Subtraction: Estimation
Here, we test your student's ability to estimate correctly using the information given in the problem. Here the student would round 2.32 to 2.00 and 3.78 to 4.00 so the problem would be 2.00 + 4.00 = 6.00.

Read the word problem and use rounding to estimate.
Then add to see if your estimate is reasonable.

and a gallon of orange juice for $3.78.
