3. Why do we round numbers or estimate?
To make numbers easier to
work with.
To get an answer that is
close but doesn’t have to
be exact.
Go over this term orally with the class.
You may want student to make a foldable for key vocabulary terms. The students should be instructed to write the term “REPEATING” on the outside of the flap, and then on the inside they will write what this term means. The students will also put a representation of the term (like the one on the PowerPoint slide). Each vocabulary term will be set up on the foldable in the same manner.

4. When do we round numbers or estimate? When the question asks…
“Estimate how many…”
“About how many…”

4 or below, keep the number you know.
If this poem is used, students may want to copy it into their foldable. Or another poem may be used to help students remember the steps of estimation and rounding.
This presentation will use this poem in the following slides to review estimation/rounding.

13. What number would you get if you round 68 to the nearest tens place?
A B 65

Teachers may want to hand out cards that have the letters A,B,C, and D written on them in large print to each student. Students can raise the card that corresponds with their answer choice.
I teach my students sign language for A, B, C, and D. We read the question aloud, I give them a few seconds to figure out their answer then I say “1, 2, 3 show me” and they show me their answer in sign language. This can also be performed with cards.
I use this method with every multiple choice slide.
