TOPIC CONTENT DESCRIPTOR KEY IDEA Pre-ASSESS ASSESSMENT INVESTIGATION STUDENT JOURNAL RESOURCES 5.1.4 ACMNA099 Use estimation and rounding to check the reasonableness of answers to calculations In our everyday lives we constantly use estimation and rounding. We don’t always need the exact or correct answer. Learners use green fish thinking, with estimation and rounding strategies, to check the of answers.
