Estimating is a math tool because it is very convenient for when you done want to add numbers menally so just add them in yor head.Or even if you are stuck on a math question then just estimate.For example when you are trying to beat ganandorf in legend of zelda you estimate how many more hit until you beat him.......Kieran Green

Estimating is very convenient because it saves time. aalso sometimes you do not have enough time to do counting in your head so you can estimate. but sometimes you are just to lazy. estimating is also good because you just need to estimate because there might be to much things to count. that is why estimating is a good math tool.
