Mathematical Processes

Do you think the sum will be greater than or less than 800? Explain
The sum is greater than 800.
355 + 414 = 769
Estimate: 800
Explanation:
The Break Apart Strategy of Addition involves separately adding the ones place, tens place, hundreds place, etc. numbers.
These individual sums are then added together to get the final sum of the original numbers.
Example 1

STEP 1:
Estimate. 400 + 400 = _____

400 + 400 = 800
Explanation:
355 is rounded to nearest hundreds as 400
414 is rounded to its nearest hundreds as 400
So, Estimate. 400 + 400 = 800

STEP 2:

Explanation:
The Break Apart Strategy of Addition involves separately adding the ones place, tens place, hundreds place, etc. numbers.
These individual sums are then added together to get the final sum of the original numbers.

STEP 3:
700 + 60 + 9 = _________
So, there were _________ zoos in the United States and Germany altogether.
700 + 60 + 9 = 769
So, there were 769 zoos in the United States and Germany altogether.
Explanation:
The Break Apart Strategy of Addition involves separately adding the ones place, tens place, hundreds place, etc. numbers.
These individual sums are then added together to get the final sum of the original numbers.

Example 2

STEP 1:
Estimate. 300 + 300 = ________
300 + 300 = 600
Explanation:
as 343 is below 350, so 343 is rounded to 300 and
259 is greater then 250, so 259 is rounded to 300 hundred
300 + 300 = 600

STEP 2:

Explanation:
The Break Apart Strategy of Addition involves separately adding the ones place, tens place, hundreds place, etc. numbers.
These individual sums are then added together to get the final sum of the original numbers.

STEP 3:
500 + 90 + 12 = __________
So, 343 + 259 = __________
Explanation:
The sum of the addends are same in both the equations.
500 + 90 + 12 = 602
So, 343 + 259 = 602

it should be written as follows

Question 12.
H.O.T. Use Math Language Is the sum of 425 and 390 less than or greater than 800? How do you know?
The sum of 425 and 390 is greater than 800
Explanation:
425  = 400 + 20 + 5
390  = 300 + 90 + 0
425 + 390 = 700 + 110 + 5 = 815
425 + 390 =815 is greater then 800
