by Amanda Susay ** Subject: ** Math ** Topic: ** Estimating with Whole Numbers (Day 3) ** Grade Level: ** 6th ** Time Frame: ** 45 minutes ** Overall Goal/ Purpose: ** The goal of this lesson is for students to learn how to estimate using whole numbers. ** State Standards: ** IL.6.B.1 > Solve one- and two-step problems with whole numbers using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. IL.7 GOAL: Estimate, make and use measurements of objects, quantities and relationships and determine acceptable levels of accuracy. ** Instructional Objectives: ** 6th graders will be able to: ·  Estimate with whole numbers. ·  Estimate a sum by rounding ·  Estimate a difference by rounding
 * Chapter 1 **
 * Lesson Plan **

Focus Attention/Motivation: I will tell the students that they have to plan a party for twelve people. They will need to estimate the number of napkins, plates, and the amount of food and drink to buy. I will tell them that sometimes you do not need to use exact numbers. Planning a party is one situation where an estimate is sufficient.
 * Procedures **

Instructional Input & Modeling: I will show students how to round numbers to estimate sums and differences. They will be given a variety of examples such as, 789 + 453 we would round up to 800+ 500 to give us 1,300

Student Engagement/Practice: Students will be given a worksheet and work on it in class. They will also use their social studies dates to estimate differences and sums.

Closure: I will tell the students that tomorrow we are going to continue to estimate with whole numbers but we will be using multiplication and division to find products and quotients.
 * Assessment **
 * Students will be assessed by their worksheets. **
