🔬 Estimation Engine
S1: Scope
Train your number sense by estimating first, then calculating.
The goal isn't just to get the right answer — it's to know if your answer makes sense.
What is Estimation?
A strong mathematician doesn't just calculate — they estimate first to check if their answer is reasonable. This is called number sense.
🎯
Predict
Before solving, estimate what the answer should be close to.
🔢
Calculate
Work out the exact answer using any method you like.
📊
Check calibration
How close was your estimate? Track your calibration score over time.
Why Estimation Matters
- → Prevents silly errors — "Does 43 × 2 = 490? That can't be right…"
- → Speeds up mental math significantly
- → Builds confidence with numbers in everyday life
- → Required for standardised tests (SAT, GRE, NAPLAN, GCSE)
