      really? you're 100% sure that the top of the quiz does not say "week 12: estimation" ? you're also 100% sure that estimation is not what was taught for three days before the quiz? how are you sure of these things? https://t.co/tSIatVSahs

      There are times when speed is priority over precision. There are times when exact causes more effort/difficult than it's worth. If I look at a gas price that says "$2.979", and you ask "what's the price", I'll say "three bucks", not "two point nine seven nine dollars". Estimate.

      If every time someone tries to defend this question they bring up a hypothetical example involving using an arbitrary and spergy number of decimal places instead of an actually analogous situation, maybe you can't really defend it.

      There were no decimals in the boy's answer. It was an easy answer to calculate in my head almost instantly without having to estimate. The teacher arbitrarily chose another level of precision, but there is no principle behind what level to adopt in this case.

      " The teacher arbitrarily chose another level of precision," It's terrible when teachers teach a lesson plan on the skill of estimation

          Just take the L man, you're resorting to snark and deliberately misunderstanding why everyone disagrees with you, and usually using quotes over responses to deliver the snark. But I'll try again in the vain hope you'll directly engage with the following specific point:

          There is no way you can justify that estimating at one order of magnitude higher than the one the teacher specifically used for the evaluation number is acceptable, but it is not acceptable to estimate at the particular order of magnitude to which the estimate is given...
