Maths Using the Target your Maths booklet, complete Rounding page 10. (Click the picture!)
Choose column A, B or C to complete. Try to challenge yourself! Remember! If the digit before is 1,2,3,4, then the digit you are rounding to stays the same If the digit before is 5,6,7,8,9 then the digit you are rounding to goes up to the next number, e.g round 346 to the nearest 10 346 The 4 is in the 10s column so this is the number we will focus on. The number before the 4 is the number that will decide if we round up or if it stays the same. The number before is 6 6 rounds up. So our 10s number 4 goes to the next number 5. Making the rounded number 350. |
