A Grade 2 word-problem sheet that puts estimation to work in real life. Students read stories about marbles, pages, and snacks, then estimate sums and differences using rounded numbers. Multiple-choice and fill-in items guide Grade 2 kids to find about-how-many answers. This sheet shows that estimation is more than a math trick, it is a smart tool for everyday choices.
