Title

An estimate helps. An exact check decides.

Written script

Let’s make something useful. Pick a made-up supply or budget job. What decision does the arithmetic need to answer? Today: Formulate additive practical problems and interpret exact comparisons. Here is our made-up source. A fictional print stand needs 485 handouts. It has 268 in one pile and 124 in another. Is there enough? Separately a pretend art plan has costs $265 and $148, within an invented AUD450 budget. What do the numbers count? You can show, draw, type, sign or tell an agreeing helper. We will try one way together, then you choose a task. An imaginary card plan needs 600 cards; 328+195=523 available, gap 77. A separate invented budget $380 costs $197+$186=$383, $3 over. A rough $200+$190≈$390 suggests close but exact arithmetic settles it. Your turn can be one useful part: Budget $300, fictional costs $148 and $153. Does it fit? Give an exact reason. Keep, change, pause or finish. You do not have to read aloud, handle objects or hurry.
