There were 396,123 items. Then 127,288 of them were sold. How many were NOT sold?
396,123
-127,288
__________
268,835
9179 to nearest hundreds
9200
estmate to solve 287+558
300+600=900
I can use this strategy by only writing the numbers and operation down on my paper (working it out with pencil and paper).

If I want to make units, rods, and flats on my paper, the strategy I am using is....
Draw a picture/model
789+276=

170-89=
81
1050 to nearest hundreds
1100
estimate
280 +182
300+200=500
I can figure out the answer by changing 325 plus 259 to: 300+200+20+50+5+9=
Decomposing numbers (break it down)

estimate to solve 805+412
800+400=1200
I can do this problem in my head like on mad minute.
