About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students estimate large and small quantities as a single digit times a power of 10.
  • Students use estimates to determine how many times as large one quantity is as another.
  • Students explain how rounding affects a comparison of two quantities.

How to use

Use after introducing powers of 10. Have students record their rounded quantities before comparing, then discuss why estimated factors can differ from exact factors.
