The document discusses strategies for estimating sums and rounding numbers up to the highest place value when adding. It introduces front end estimation, which involves drawing a line through numbers being added and changing digits after the line to zeros, using only the front digits. Examples demonstrate rounding numbers to the hundreds, thousands, or ten thousands place before adding. Front end estimation is said to be an easier strategy than full rounding when numbers have the same number of digits.

19. FRONT END The name of this strategy gives you a clue about how it is used. The word FRONT should remind you that you are only concerned with the front portion of the number. Many people think this strategy is easier than rounding to the highest place value. Next Page
