Mathematics
Quarter 1 – Module 6:
Estimating Products
Introductory Message
This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our
dear learners, can continue your studies and learn while at home.
Activities, questions, directions, exercises, and discussions are
carefully stated for you to understand each lesson.
Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall
guide you step-by-step as you discover and understand the lesson
prepared for you.
Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on
lessons in each SLM. This will tell you if you need to proceed on
completing this module or if you need to ask your facilitator or
your teacher’s assistance for better understanding of the lesson.
At the end of each module, you need to answer the post-test to self-
check your learning. Answer keys are provided for each activity
and test. We trust that you will be honest in using these.
In addition to the material in the main text. Notes to the
Teacher are also provided to our facilitators and parents for
strategies and reminders on how they can best help you on your
home-based learning.
Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary
marks on any part of this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in
answering the exercises and tests. And read the instructions
carefully before performing each task.
If you have any questions in using this SLM or any difficulty
in answering the tasks in this module, do not hesitate to consult
your teacher or facilitator.
Thank you.
 What I Need to Know

When we multiply numbers, we usually find for the exact

product or an exact answer to a multiplication problem. What if,
we want to get an answer that is close enough but not the exact
one? In this case, estimating products comes in.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

• estimate the products of 3- to 4- digit numbers by 2-

to 3- digit numbers with reasonable results.

What I Know

Estimate the products of the following.

1. 435 2. 643 3. 278 4. 534 5. 746

x 43 x 65 x 32 x 51 x 67

6. 2 453 7. 6 376 8. 4 235 9. 5 813 10. 3 487

x 46 x 65 x 82 x 234 x 354

Are you done answering? If yes, time to check.

CO_Q1_Mathematics4_Module6
 What’s In

Before we proceed with our new lesson, let’s have a review on

rounding off numbers and multiplying numbers with zeroes.

A. Round the following numbers to the indicated/underlined

place value.

1. 47 2. 63 3. 437 4. 582 5. 7 615

B. Give the product.

1. 500 2. 400 3. 600 4. 3 000 5. 2 000

x 20 x 50 x 40 x 200 x 600

Examples of rounding off numbers:

• Let’s have 734, round off to the nearest hundreds.
784
Digit to be rounded
Since the next digit to its right is more than 5,
then round up by adding 1 to 7.

The answer is 800.

• Round off 3 298 to the nearest thousands.

3 298
Digit to be rounded
Since the next digit to its right is less than 5,
then round down by retaining the digit 3.

The answer is 3 000.

• Don’t forget to replace the remaining digits to its right with

zeroes.

2
CO_Q1_Mathematics4_Module6
 In multiplying numbers with zeroes, we can simply use the
short method.

• Multiply the nonzero digit in the multiplier

Example: with the multiplicand.
8 000 8 x 5 = 40
x 500 • Then add zeroes in the product equal to
4 000 000 the number of zeroes in the factors.
8000 – has 3 zeroes
500 - has 2 zeroes

Since there are 5 zeroes in the factors, we

simply attach the 5 zeroes to the product
of the nonzero digits which is 40 and the
resulting product is 4 000 000.

Other examples:
1 200 2 000 3 400
x 40 x 100 x 300

12 x 4 = 48 2x1=2 34 x 3 = 102
3 zeroes 5 zeroes 4 zeroes
= 48 000 = 200 000 = 1 020 000

Notes to the Teacher

Supplemental lessons and activity sheets on the review

topics should be given to learners who lack the required
prerequisite skills.

 What’s New

Let’s start our new lesson with a story problem.

Please read and analyze the problem carefully.

Mang Antonio owns a

mango orchard in their
province. This harvest
season, he was able to get
571 mangoes from a tree. If
he has 32 mango trees, about
how many mangoes can he
harvest this season?

How many mangoes was he able to harvest from one tree?

How many mango trees does he have?

What is asked in the problem?

What phrase in the problem indicates that an estimated

product is being asked for?

How can we find the estimated number of mangoes harvested?

CO_Q1_Mathematics4_Module6
 What is It

Let us study how to estimate the product.

The phrase “about how many” does not ask for an actual
answer but an estimate. The required answer can be solved by
estimating the product.

Study the solution below.

The given numbers are 571 mangoes and 32 mango trees.

Step 1
• Round each factor to its greatest place value.

571 600
Rounded factors
x 32 x 30

Step 2

• Multiply the rounded factors

600 Estimated
x 30 product
18 000

Hence, there are about 18 000 mangoes that can be

harvested this season.

• Take note that the number of zeroes in the rounded factors

should be attached to the product of the non-zero digits. The
factors are the numbers being multiplied to get the product.

To check if the estimated product is reasonable, we have to

find the actual product and compare it with the estimated product.

 What I Have Learned

How do we estimate the product of 3- to 4- digit numbers by

2- to 3- digit numbers?

• To estimate the product, round each factor to its greatest

place value, and then multiply the rounded factors.

What I Can Do

Estimate each product. Then, compare the two estimated

products. Write the correct symbol ˃, ˂ or = in the box.

1. 174 x 47 246 x 38
