Today in Numeracy we were rounding numbers to the nearest ten.

We quickly established some key points.

  1. We need to decide which two tens a number is between.
  2. If the number has five or more in the units column, we round up to the bigger ten.
  3. If the number in the units column is less than five, we round down to the lower ten.

Then came the fun part! We made a human number line fron 0 to 100.

Some of us were then given numbers. The people with the two tens the number was between had to stand up. Then, the person with the number had to walk towards the nearest ten.

We are now well on our way with rounding to the nearest ten!
