About this worksheet
Each worksheet has 16 problems rounding decimals and mixed numbers to estimate a product or quotient.
The estimation worksheets on this site work at grades 3 to 5 and take one kind of number at a time - whole numbers, or decimals, or fractions. This standard names whole numbers, decimals, fractions and mixed numbers together, so a mixed number and a decimal turn up in the same set of problems and are rounded the same way. Each division is built backwards from a clean answer, because rounding two numbers and dividing usually gives a mess and a division estimate needs a single defensible result. Sheets can be customized, turned into flash cards, or assigned for online learning.
