Estimating Products in Mathematics

The video tutorial teaches how to estimate products by rounding factors. It provides examples of estimating products like 32 x 24 and 67 x 48, explaining the concept of overestimation and underestimation. The tutorial includes practice problems for students to apply the estimation technique and determine if the estimate is greater or less than the actual product.

What is the first step in estimating the product of two numbers?

• Multiply the numbers directly

• Add the numbers

• Round each factor

• Subtract the numbers
