Using rounding to estimate

lyrics

Estimating In Paradise

You don’t need a pencil and paper
Or even your cool calculator
When you need an answer and it can’t be late
Just round all the numbers and then estimate
Just circle the place that you’re rounding to
Check the number to the right
If it’s five or above, give that circle a shove
If it’s four or below , then you can let it go!

Chorus:

Estimating in paradise
Using mental math is very nice
Not too particular – not too precise
It’s just estimating in paradise


Remember the number you circled
Then write in zeroes again and again
Do the math in your head, just like I said
Bet your bottom dollar you’ll be rounding money then
When you use some quick estimation
You can always get the answer you need
For the sum or the quotient, or the difference
The product needs no logic – is this making sense?

Chorus:

Estimating in paradise
Using mental math is very nice
Not too particular, not too precise
It’s just estimating in paradise

****With claps ****

Circle and check and sooner or later
Heavens to Betsy you’re a great estimator!
Add those zeroes and you’re ready to go
Finish the problem- now don’t be slow!

Chorus 1x
