Instructional Ideas

  • Have the pupils watch the video prior to coming to class and complete the practice pages within class
  • Create pairs to work together on the practice problems and have them compare their answers

Classroom Considerations

  • Some pupils may forget to put their final answers into scientific notation
  • The resource is sixth in a seven-part series

Pros

  • The video examples go through estimations before performing the operations
  • Estimate questions provide guidance on how to score for partial credit
