Problem of the Day
Continue the number pattern below.
Explain the pattern you found.
3, 6, 10, 15, ___, ___
21, 28; One possible pattern is to increase the
difference between consecutive terms by one
more than the difference between preceding
consecutive terms.

Course 1
1-2 Estimating with Whole Numbers
Sometimes in math you do not need an
exact answer. Instead, you can use an
estimate. Estimates are close to the exact
answer but are usually easier and faster to
find.
When estimating, you can round the
numbers in the problem to compatible
numbers. Compatible numbers are close
to the numbers in the problem, and they
can help you do math mentally.
Course 1
1-2 Estimating with Whole Numbers
Remember!
When rounding, look at the digit to the
right of the place to which you are
rounding.
• If that digit is 5 or greater, round up.
• If that digit is less than 5, round down.

1-2 Estimating with Whole Numbers
An estimate that is less than the exact
answer is an underestimate.
An estimate that is greater than the
exact answer is an overestimate.

Additional Example 2: Estimating a Product by
Rounding
Chelsea is planning the annual softball
banquet for the 8 teams in the region. Each
team has 18 members. Estimate how many
plates she will need to buy if all the members
attend.
Find the number of softball members.
8  18 8  20 Overestimate the number of
softball members.
8  20 = 160
The actual number of softball
members is less than 160.
Chelsea should buy about 160 plates.

Another method
Find the number of softball members.
10  18 10  18 Overestimate the number of
teams.
10  18 = 180
The actual number of softball
members is less than 180.
Chelsea should buy about 180 plates.

Check It Out: Example 2
Ms. Oliver wants to buy the entire seventhgrade new pencils. There are 5 seventh-grade
homeroom classes of 28 students. Estimate
how many pencils Ms. Oliver needs to buy for
all of the students.
Find the number of students in the seventh grade.
5  28
5  30
5  30 = 150
Overestimate the number of
students.
The actual number of students is
less than 150.
Ms. Oliver should buy about 150 pencils.

Additional Example 3: Estimating a Quotient
Using Compatible Numbers
Mr. Dehmel will drive 243 miles to the fair at
65 mi/h. About how long will his trip take?
243 ÷ 65
240 ÷ 60
240 ÷ 60 = 4
240 and 60 are compatible
numbers. Underestimate
the speed.
Because he underestimated
the speed, the actual time
will be less than 4 hours.
The trip will take about 4 hours.
Course 1
1-2 Estimating with Whole Numbers
Check It Out: Example 3
Mrs. Blair will drive 103 miles to the airport at
55 mi/h. About how long will her trip take?
103 ÷ 55
100 ÷ 50
100 and 50 are compatible
numbers. Underestimate
the speed.
Because she underestimated
100 ÷ 50 = 2 the speed, the actual time will
be less than 2 hours.
The trip will take about 2 hours.
