[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An estimate that varies by approximately 20% from the real answer? The practicing engineer in me would be screaming at the teacher or the idiot who made the curriculum. [/quote] As the unit continues, they will estimate using larger numbers. It will be more useful then. [/quote] Not necessarily if they were blindly taught that they're always supposed to round to the hundreds place, LOL. E.g, if they're trying to estimate the difference or sum of two 8 digit numbers, rounding to only hundreds place might defeat the purpose of estimating.[/quote] Even worse, they would have learned not to trust their intuition, even if their intuition wasn't the problem in the first place.[/quote]
