Addition and subtraction test tomorrow. This test will be skill based only.
Estimating sums and difference using 3 different strategies
- rounding both numbers to the greatest place value (most common)
- rounding one number only (subtrahend when finding difference)
- looking at the digits in the highest place value only
- standard algorithm (regrouping)
- adding from left to right (starting at thousands)
- place value chart
