Rounding

In lesson twenty-six work with rounding begins. Students begin by rounding one, two and three-digit numbers to the tens place.

They identify the two tens numbers closest to the given number, then determine which tens number is closer.

The process is:

  • Display and say, ‘Each number is between two tens numbers. Tens numbers end in zero.’
  • Point to 24 and say, ’24 is between 20 and 30.’ Point to 68, ask, ‘What is 68 between?’ and signal.
  • Continue the process with the other three numbers.
  • Say, ‘This time you’ll tell me which tens number is closer to the number shown.’ Point to 24, say ’24 is between two tens numbers. Which numbers?’ and signal. Ask, ‘Which tens number is 24 closer to?’ and signal.
  • Continue the process with the other three numbers.
