The children revised rounding up or down in mathematics today.
We discussed the rules and were reminded of the magic number 5 that tells us to round up or to round down.
The children remembered that 5 and above you round up but below 5 you round down.
We used whiteboards to round one number up to thousands to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000. The children showed their understanding by drawing a number line to illustrate the rule of rounding.
