In this lesson, we will learn how to estimate the sum of two numbers, 2,564 and 4,877, and then compare it with the actual sum. First, we identify the greatest place value in these numbers, which is the thousands place. Next, we will round both numbers to the nearest thousand, yielding an estimated sum of 8,000. Finally, we will calculate the actual sum to be 7,441, and discuss how close it is to our estimate, concluding that the answer is reasonable.
