4. Demonstrate how to estimate the sum or difference of two three-digit numbers by rounding each number to the nearest hundred and then adding or subtracting those rounded numbers. For example, to estimate the sum of 384 and 627, round each number to the nearest hundred (400 and 600) and then add them together (1000). You can use a whiteboard or visual aids to help students understand the concept.
5. Have students work on the worksheet individually or in pairs. Encourage them to use the rounding method you demonstrated to estimate the sum or difference of each pair of three-digit numbers.
6. After they have completed the worksheet, review the answers as a class. Discuss any challenges or questions that students had while completing the worksheet. You can also provide additional practice problems if students need more practice.
