Worksheet Overview

When we estimate, we guess but with some calculation.

In this worksheet you must estimate which number the arrow is pointing to on a vertical number line.

Example

Estimate which number the arrow is pointing to.

Answer

In your mind, picture where the halfway number 5 is.

In your mind, picture the small number divisions between 0, 5 and 10.
