Round your answer to the nearest ten thousand: 31,567 - 18,420
What is 31,567 - 18,420 = 13,147 13,147 ~ 10,000
200
Make a tape diagram and then solve the problem: 43,876 + 712,768
What is x = 756,644. You should have x on the top of your tape diagram and in the two boxes are 43,876 and 712,768.

Peter was helping his mom put stamps on letters that needed to go out. He licked 23 stamps. Fudge wanted to help too but mostly licked stamps. He licked 58 more stamps than Peter. How many more stamps did Fudge lick than Peter? Show your answer in a tape diagram.
What is 58 stamps. You should have one box for Peter showing 23 stamps. Below him you should have boxes for Fudge. One box showing 23 stamps along with another box that has 58. There should be a bracket labeled with S for your answer. S = 81 stamps that Fudge licked. Now solve for how many stamps Fudge licked over Peter: 81-23 = 58 stamps.

Make your own word problem for this tape diagram: The top of your tape diagram is X. In the two boxes you have 4,326 and 3,561.
What is answers vary. Make sure your word problem is an addition one, because the x on top means you don't have the answer (the biggest number).

Again solve in your head. 5 ten thousands + 2 ten thousands + 3 hundreds.
What is 7,300 or 7 ten thousands 3 hundreds.

Ben Gunn was counting all of his gold and found that he had an 88,555 coins. Long John Silver wants this treasure, but was hoping for 10 times as much as that. How much was Silver hoping for? Solve and then round your number to the nearest ten thousand to check your answer. Is it reasonable?
What is 885,550? Rounded: 890,000. Yes it is reasonable because 885,550 is close to 890,000 and I could've rounded 88,555 to 89,000 and multiplied that by 10 to get 890,000.

Everyday our 4th grade class walks up and down the hill to get to the Upper Building. Last week we walked 1,348 steps. This week we walked 2,513 steps. How many more steps did we take this week than last week? Solve and then estimate your answer. Compare the two answers.
What is 2,513- 1,348 = 1,165 more steps this week 2,500 - 1,300 = 1,200 My estimate is close to my actual answer. I know this because if I were to round 1,165 to the nearest hundred it would round to 1,200.

Make your own word problem for the following tape diagram: The top of the tape diagram has 80,000. There are two boxes below. One box has 40,201 and the other box has an x.
What is answers vary. You need to make this a subtraction problem since you were given the biggest number on top and have a missing number in the box.

Again solve in your head. 5 x 70 + 20
What is 370.
