Estimation and Rounding Concepts

The video tutorial explains how to estimate sums of decimal numbers by rounding them to the nearest whole number or tenth. It begins with an introduction to the concept of estimation, followed by a demonstration of rounding decimals to whole numbers. The tutorial then covers rounding to the nearest tenth, providing examples and reasoning for each step. The goal is to help viewers quickly approximate sums without detailed calculations.
