Front end estimation generally produces a better estimate of sums or differences than rounding before adding or subtracting.
How to Estimate a difference by front end estimation
* Subtract the digits of the two highest place values
* Insert zeros for the other place values
*
* Example: 7396 minus 3745 is estimated to be 3600 by front end estimation (i.e. 7300-3700).
Now Rounding:
8267-2761
8300-2800
5500
You do the front end estimate.
Can you explain what the difference between rounding and front end estimation is? For example round 8267-2761= and front end estimate 6489-1807= .
