Anumaan
To estimate means to make a guess about how much something is or how many there are.
You say 'estimate' like this: es-tuh-mate.
The word 'estimate' comes from the Latin word 'aestimare', which means to value or to assess.
The word 'estimate' in Hindi is 'अनुमान' (Anumāna).
The word 'estimate' in Kannada is 'ಅಂದಾಜು' (Andāju).
In a colorful world, just like Eric Carle's, we can learn to estimate! Estimating is like guessing, but with a little bit of thinking. Imagine you have a big jar of jellybeans. How many do you think are inside? You might say, “I estimate there are 20 jellybeans!”
Just like the hungry caterpillar munching through his food, we can munch through numbers! Estimating helps us understand how much of something we have. So next time you see a pile of toys or cookies, take a guess! Remember, it’s all about having fun with numbers!
