Worksheet Description

This worksheet will help students learn how to estimate the results of division problems using compatible numbers. It includes a series of 15 division problems with varying levels of difficulty, featuring dividends ranging from two to three digits and divisors from two digits. Each problem provides a structure where students are expected to round the numbers to the nearest ten or hundred to make the division simpler and then write down the estimated quotient. The first problem is completed as an example to guide students on how to approach the estimation process.

The worksheet is aimed at enhancing the students’ ability to make quick and reasonable estimations in division without resorting to exact calculations. By practicing with compatible numbers, students develop an intuitive understanding of how to round numbers and identify easy-to-divide pairs. This skill is particularly useful in everyday life where approximate answers are often sufficient. Additionally, the worksheet helps to reinforce number sense and improves the students’ ability to perform mental math efficiently.
