Grade 2 students estimate with money in short stories about Sam, Mia, Jon, and Kim as they shop and save. Four multiple-choice items ask about change, totals, and whether a spending plan is reasonable, while five fill-in questions walk through rounded dollar math step by step. This Grade 2 estimation worksheet connects rounding to real cash choices and shows how quick mental estimates can check exact answers before paying today.

Write the correct answer on each line.
1. Sam: $18 - $7 rounds to $20 - $10 = $10.
2. Mia: $32 - $19 rounds to $30 - $20 = $10.
