by Amanda Susay ** Subject: ** Math ** Topic: ** Estimating with Whole Numbers (Day 4) ** Grade Level: ** 6th ** Time Frame: ** 45 minutes ** Overall Goal/ Purpose: ** The goal of this lesson is for students to know how to estimate using whole numbers and estimate a product and quotient by rounding. ** 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 product by rounding ·  estimate a quotient by rounding

 * Lesson Plan **

Focus Attention/Motivation: We will go over the worksheets we did in class yesterday and do a quick review.
 * Procedures **

Instructional Input & Modeling: I will show students how to round numbers to estimate products and to use compatible numbers to estimate quotients. I will point out that the compatible numbers used to estimate a quotient are not necessarily found by rounding.

Student Engagement/Practice: Students will be given a worksheet with two cave pictures and dates of when the caves were built. They will round the dates to estimate products and use compatible numbers to estimate the quotient.

Closure: I will emphasize to students that estimates should be easy enough to obtain mentally. I will remind students to round to the highest place value for sums, differences, and products. I will also encourage them to be mathematically creative when looking for compatible numbers to estimate quotients. Students will be assessed by their worksheets.
