  1. Form 1 Mathematics Chapter 5 Estimationin numbers and measurement

  2. Lesson requirement • Textbook 1A • Workbook 1A • Notebook (and folder) • Before lessons start • Desks in good order! • No rubbish around! Reminder

  3. An estimation is a rough guess on the actual values. It does not represent the real answer. In real life, we seldom bring a calculator with us. So, we can use estimation to make some decisions. To get a better estimation, we need some techniques to round off a number. Estimation (p.189)

  4. Consider the “unwanted” leftmost digit. • If greater or equal to 5, add 1 to left digit next to it. • Otherwise, leave left digit next to it unchanged. • E.g. 21.29 + 15.78 + 30.97 + 3.24 + 5.86 • Rounding off to nearest tenth digit (十分位) • Rounding off to nearest unit(個位) • Rounding off to nearest ten digit(十位) Rounding off a number (四捨五入)

  5. Rounding off to nearest tenth digit • 21.29 + 15.78 + 30.97 + 3.24 + 5.86 21.3 + 15.8 + 31.0 + 3.2 + 5.9 = 77.2 • Rounding off to nearest unit (or one) • 21.29 + 15.78 + 30.97 + 3.24 + 5.86 21 + 16 + 31 + 3 + 6 = 77 • Rounding off to nearest ten digit • 21.29 + 15.78 + 30.97 + 3.24 + 5.86 20 + 20 + 30 + 0 + 10 = 80 • The actual answer is 77.14 Rounding off (四捨五入)

  6. Consider the leftmost digit. • Leave the first leftmost digit • Other change to 0! • E.g. 21.29 + 15.78 + 30.97 + 3.24 + 5.86 • 21.29 + 15.78 + 30.97 + 3.24 + 5.86 20.00 + 10.00 + 30.00 + 3.00 + 5.00= 20 + 10 + 30 + 3 + 5= 68 (Actual answer is 77.14) Front-end method (最左數字)

  7. Consider the “unwanted” digits. • All change to 0 • Add 1 to left digit next to them • E.g. 21.29 + 15.78 + 30.97 + 3.24 + 5.86 • Rounding up to nearest tenth digit • Rounding up to nearest unit • Rounding up to nearest ten digit Rounding up (上捨入)

  8. Rounding up to nearest tenth digit • 21.29 + 15.78 + 30.97 + 3.24 + 5.86 21.3 + 15.8 + 31.0 + 3.3 + 5.9 = 77.3 • Rounding up to nearest unit (or one) • 21.29 + 15.78 + 30.97 + 3.24 + 5.86 22 + 16 + 31 + 4 + 6 = 79 • Rounding up to nearest ten digit • 21.29 + 15.78 + 30.97 + 3.24 + 5.86 30 + 20 + 40 + 10 + 10 = 110 • Actual answer =77.14. All are over-estimated. Rounding up (上捨入)

  9. Consider the “unwanted” digits. • All change to 0 • Leave all left digits next to them unchanged • E.g. 21.29 + 15.78 + 30.97 + 3.24 + 5.86 • Rounding down to nearest tenth digit • Rounding down to nearest unit • Rounding down to nearest ten digit Rounding DOWN (下捨入)

  10. Rounding down to nearest tenth digit • 21.29 + 15.78 + 30.97 + 3.24 + 5.86 21.2 + 15.7 + 30.9 + 3.2 + 5.8 = 76.8 • Rounding down to nearest unit (or one) • 21.29 + 15.78 + 30.97 + 3.24 + 5.86 21 + 15 + 30 + 3 + 5 = 74 • Rounding down to nearest ten digit • 21.29 + 15.78 + 30.97 + 3.24 + 5.86 20 + 10 + 30 + 0 + 0 = 60 • Actual answer =77.14. All are under-estimated. Rounding down (下捨入)

  12. Choose one approximate value which is close in value to all (or most) numbers E.g. 21356 + 19587 + 22098 + 18657 + 20485 + 19444  20000 x 6 = 120000 Clustering method (集中數字)

  13. Choose a pair of numbers which makes the calculation easier • E.g. 345678  9  360000  9 = 40000 • E.g. 0.2468 x 163  0.25 x 160 = 40 Compatible numbers (相容數字)

  14. To change the order of the arithmetic operations for easy calculation • Only for first x then  • E.g. Translation (轉移數字)

  15. Make some adjustments during or after arithmetic operations • E.g. 6432x 7 • Consider 6432 x 7 = (6000 +432) x 7 • First, 6000 x 7 = 42000 • Then, 432 x 7  3000 (400 x 7 = 2800  432 x 7 is close to 3000) • So, the answer is about 45000 Compensation (補償數字)
