P2 have been working hard this week to learn how to round numbers to the nearest 10. They used a magic strategy to help them:

-Look at the number and decide what TENS digits it is between. For example 63 is between 60 and 70.

-Look at the UNITS in the digit.

-If the units are 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 then ROUND UP.

-If the units are 1, 2, 3 or 4 then ROUND DOWN.This clever cookie had a go at a “Dartboard Rounding” game on the Smarboard.

We also played a rounding game on the I-pads to help us practise!
