What 2 numbers represent the ones place in this equation? 

356 + 123

6 and 3

100

Why would you round each number and estimate the sum before you find the exact sum?

It helps you check to see if your exact answer is reasonable.  

100

356 - 189

In this example, how do you know if regrouping is necessary? 

In the ones place, 6 + 9 = 15 which is bigger than 9, therefore it needs to be regrouped.

Mr. Lee had $385 in the bank. Then he spent $242. Ms. Davis had $685 in the bank and then spent $542. Who has more money left? Conjecture: They both have the same amount of money left.

What’s the first step to solving this?

Figure out how much money both Mr. Lee and Ms. Davis have left in the bank.

200

Break apart 185 + 613 into hundreds, tens and ones. 

100 + 80 + 5 = 185

600 + 10 + 3 = 613

200

Estimate by rounding to the nearest ten, then solve 163 + 50. Compare the answers to find if your answer is reasonable.

160 + 50 = 210

163 + 50 = 213

The answers are close, therefore 213 is a reasonable answer.

200

Subtract: 374 - 176 = ?

Mr. Lee had $385 in the bank. Then he spent $242. Ms. Davis had $685 in the bank and then spent $542. Who has more money left? Conjecture: They both have the same amount of money left.

After we find how much each person has left, what is our next step?

Compare each amount left in the bank and decide which one is greater or if they are the same. 

300

Subtract 465 - 351 by breaking down each number into hundreds, tens and ones.

400 - 300 = 100

60 - 50 = 10

5 - 1 = 4

100 + 10 + 4 = 114

300

Estimate by rounding to the nearest ten, then solve 418 + 351. Compare the answers to find if your answer is reasonable.

420 + 350 = 770

418 + 351 = 769

300

Subtract: 856 - 219 = ?

637

602 + 125 + 231 = ?

300

Mr. Lee had $385 in the bank. Then he spent $242. Ms. Davis had $685 in the bank and then spent $542. Who has more money left? Conjecture: They both have the same amount of money left.

Is the conjecture correct? Draw a diagram to justify your answer. 

Yes, you could use a number line or a bar diagram to show this. 

400

Add 730 + 168 by breaking down each number into hundreds, tens and ones. 

700 + 100 = 800

30 + 60 = 90

0 + 8 = 8 

800 + 90 + 8 = 898

400

Estimate by rounding to the nearest ten, then solve 516 + 325. Compare the answers to find if your answer is reasonable.

520 + 330 = 850

516 + 325 = 841

The answers are close, therefore 841 is a reasonable answer. 

400

Estimate by rounding to the nearest ten, then subtract.

526 - 238 = ?

530 - 240 = 290

526 - 238 = 288

400

246 + 54 + 233 + 205 = ?

Some musicians set goals for the number of minutes they want to practice before a concert, which is 5 days away. How many more minutes does Aria need to practice to reach her goal?

                            Aria     Dexter         

Minutes Practiced:  608       612

                  Goal:  700        650


700 - 608 = 82

500

Subtract 755 - 315 by breaking down 315 into hundreds, tens and ones. 

755- 300 = 455

455 - 10 = 445

445 - 5 = 440

500

To add 546 + 327, would you need to regroup? Explain.

Yes, 6 + 7 = 13, which is greater than 9. 

500

Estimate by rounding to the nearest ten, then subtract.

629 - 453 = ?

630 - 450 = 180

629 - 453 = 176

500

125 + 35 + 124 + 239 = ?

523

Some musicians set goals for the number of minutes they want to practice before a concert, which is 5 days away. Who needs more minutes to reach their goal, Aria or Dexter?

                            Aria     Dexter         

Minutes Practiced:  608       612

                  Goal:  700        650

82 > 38, Aria needs more minutes to reach her goal than Dexter.
