Ever guessed how many marbles were in a jar? 🫙

Estimating is an important math skill, but what happens when your estimate isn't quite right? If you guessed 40 marbles and there were actually 65, how far off were you? That's where percent error comes in. It helps us measure the difference between an estimate and the actual value.

Can you figure out the percent error? Let us know your answer in the comments! 👇

📊 Understanding percent error is about more than memorizing a formula- it's about making sense of estimates and real-world results.

Whether you're comparing a prediction to an actual outcome, estimating a budget, or analyzing data, percent error helps us understand how close we were.
