Adding from Left to Right (Quick Estimation)

2 years ago

Hello there! For today, I will be talking about addition. Yup, just plain and simple addition. Traditionally, we are taught to do math from right to left. Add all the numbers in the ones place and carry over the number to the tens place. Add all the numbers in the tens place and carry over the number to the hundreds place and so on. In most real life scenarios, you will only need to estimate the sum of a list of numbers. If you add from the right to left, you don't have an estimate of the number until you add the entire list and go through all the columns. If you add from the left to right, you can get an estimate of what the sum will at least be around.

You'll see 3 separate examples where I estimate the sum of a list of numbers and then solve for the actual.

Keep in mind that the further right you add, the more accurate your estimate will be.
