From the author
Estimate each answer, then calculate the actual solution on this ten-problem mixed-operations worksheet. The single-page PDF combines addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, including multi-digit whole numbers and a decimal dividend.
Students can use rounding or compatible numbers and compare estimates with calculated results. No answer key is included.
