Which Expression

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a math activity focused on “Estimating Quotients,” where students are asked to identify the best estimate for a series of division problems. Each question presents a division expression and four possible estimates, only one of which is the best approximation of the quotient. The students must circle the estimate they believe most closely matches the result of the division. The worksheet contains six problems, each with a two-digit dividend and a single-digit divisor, along with four potential estimated quotients to choose from.

The purpose of this worksheet is to strengthen students’ number sense by practicing estimation skills, particularly with division. It teaches them to quickly evaluate and estimate the result of a division expression without performing the exact calculation. This exercise helps in developing their ability to approximate and make judgments about numerical relationships. Additionally, it serves to enhance their mental math capabilities, as they learn to assess which numbers are most likely to be close to the actual quotient based on their understanding of division.
