To estimate and round off quotients

Target Estimate is a Grade 4 division game that combines quotient estimation with a chosen target. Players create a two-digit dividend from cards, use a die as the divisor, estimate the whole-number quotient, and then compare the estimate with the target quotient they selected at the start. Correct estimates closest to the target score the round.

Use it for partner or small-group practice when students are estimating quotients and rounding division results. Calculator checking after the estimates are made lets students focus first on mental reasoning, then verify accuracy.
