Note for Parents & Teachers
This follows the NCERT Class 4 chapter "Elephants, Tigers, and Leopards". 10 ones make 1 ten, 10 tens make 1 hundred and 10 hundreds make 1 thousand. Estimate first by rounding, then calculate and check the answer is close. To add 999, add 1000 and take away 1. At home, estimate a shopping bill by rounding each price, then add the exact prices.
