Welcome back Wildcats! I hope everyone had a wonderful time with friends and family over the Thanksgiving break!
Today we returned to our study of decimals, discussing why we round ("it makes numbers easier to work with," "we can do calculations faster") and how we round to different place values.
We fused the mnemonic devices (memory tricks) of Aden and Zoe Newman to remind ourselves:
Five or above, give it a shove
Four or lower, fall to the floor
(If the number to the right is 5 or higher, we round up, if the number to the right is 4 or lower, we round down)
Here is the link to download the hw in case you missed it
