CAMBRIDGE IGCSE MATHEMATICS 0580

Bounds & Estimation Studio

One measuring bench for accuracy: a reading is really a band of values, and you move its ends.

C1.9 / E1.9 · use upper and lower bounds of a measurement · E1.10 · use bounds in a calculation

A reading is a band

Drag the two ends of the band, the reading pointer and the accuracy dial — they move as you drag them, nothing else to press. Or tap a handle and use the arrow keys (hold Shift for a whole accuracy). The accuracy dial's four settings run from the finest on the left to the coarsest on the right.
