    Estimation

    Lesson presentations and activities

    • A full three part lesson on Estimation. The main part of the lesson involves pupils pretending to be 'Grand Designers&' to estimate a cost to floor a building. There is a lot in this lesson so modify where necessary!

    • This takes you from basic rounding to whole numbers up through decimal places, significant figures and beyond! Upper and lower bounds also covered along with standard form calculations.

    • Pupils need to solve the murder by adding up a shopping list and seeing who's bank balance matches, round to nearest decimal places and significant figures, work out circumference which is &'linked to intelligence...&'; and round to 1 s.f. to perform quick calculations. Quite a lengthy starter to make sure they have the basics for the main activity. I allowed them a calculator from question 3 onwards once they had finished the written calculations and moved on to rounding and significant figures.

      I really like the format! Thank you!

    • No power and therefore no access to phones (battery's run out) so estimating in your head it is then! Four fairly simple calculations (I've called the final one a challenge as it involves more steps) that could lead to further discussion, something I have added/given the option to people in after the answers are revealed in the powerpoint. You can either do straight from the powerpoint or from the worksheet (saving the planet option available therefore).
