Coming up with estimates in maths is often a good idea and this week we have been working on rounding a variety of different numbers. We know that for 1,2,3 and 4, you round down and for 5,6,7,8 and 9, you round up. Some of us have been finding numbers used in the children's newspaper First News. We then rounded them to the nearest ten, hundred or thousand. We have been thinking of the different situations in everyday life when being able to round numbers would be useful. Pocket money time could be the perfect time to demonstrate our knowledge!
