RoundingRounding numbers is trick used to find approximations of numbers. When you see the phrases "about how much" or "nearest hundred/thousand/ten" or "estimate," these are all asking for approximations of numbers.
Over the last two weeks, we've reviewed how to round numbers both large and small to particular place values (nearest ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, etc). We will also utilize rounding to practice estimation skills throughout the operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division! |
Review: Place Value |
A few weeks ago, we explored whole number place value as a rewview. If you would like to support this at home, you can do so by playing a game such as Place Value Yahtzee. The download above has several levels of cards so that you can print and play at home! You can even customize your own (especially if you're ready to play up to billions already!).
Parents, be sure to challenge your child to fully name numbers (to billions and down to thousandths) and pull out digits that represent each place value.
