Differentiation:

Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support using estimating and rounding to provide approximate answers to calculations. Using up to and including 4-digit numbers, rounding to the nearest 10, 100 or 1,000. Rounding whole numbers only.
Expected Questions to support using estimating and rounding to provide approximate answers to calculations. Using up to and including 5-digit numbers, rounding to the nearest 10, 100, 1,000 or 10,000. Rounding whole numbers; also rounding numbers with 2 decimal places (to the nearest whole) in the context of money.
Greater Depth Questions to support using estimating and rounding to provide approximate answers to calculations. Using up to and including 5-digit numbers, rounding to the nearest 10, 100, 1,000 or 10,000. Rounding whole numbers and numbers with 2 decimal places (to the nearest whole), all within the contexts of money and lengths.

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Reasoning)
Developing Use an approximation to explain whether the given answer to a calculation is likely to be correct. Using up to and including 4-digit numbers, rounding to the nearest 10, 100 or 1,000.
Expected Use an approximation to explain whether the given answer to a calculation is likely to be correct. Using up to and including 5-digit numbers, rounding to the nearest 10, 100, 1,000 or 10,000.
Greater Depth Use an approximation to explain whether the given answer to a calculation is likely to be correct. Using up to and including 5-digit numbers, rounding to the nearest 10, 100, 1,000 or 10,000. Numbers are used within the context of lengths.

Questions 2, 5 and 8 (Problem Solving)
Developing Calculate an approximate answer in order to find how many lots of a certain amount are required to cover a total. Using up to and including 4-digit numbers, rounding to the nearest 100 or 1,000. Rounding whole numbers only.
Expected Calculate an approximate answer in order to find how many lots of a certain amount are required to cover a total. Using up to and including 5-digit numbers, rounding to the nearest 1,000. Rounding whole numbers; also rounding numbers with 2 decimal places (to the nearest whole) in the context of money.
Greater Depth Calculate an approximate answer in order to find how many lots of a certain amount are required to cover a total. Using up to and including 5-digit numbers, rounding to the nearest 1,000. Rounding whole numbers and numbers with 2 decimal places (to the nearest whole), all within the contexts of money and lengths.

Questions 3, 6 and 9 (Reasoning)
Developing Prove whether the given approximation in a word problem is correct. Using up to and including 4-digit numbers, rounding to the nearest 10 or 1,000. Rounding whole numbers only.
Expected Prove whether the given approximation in a word problem is correct. Using up to and including 5-digit numbers, rounding to the nearest 10,000. Rounding whole numbers; also rounding numbers with 2 decimal places (to the nearest whole) in the context of money.
