Maths | Rounding

Rounding is a math strategy that uses addition & division strategies. Rounding means making a number easier but keeping its value close to what it was. The answer is less detailed, but easier to use.
Addition and division are both operations that are used for rounding. To round, the person needs to find the mean, to find the mean get a set of numbers like 5,7,1,9,3 and then add them altogether which would make 25. Then divide them by the amount of numbers there are which makes 5.

Rounding can help people get better at adding and dividing. Also at understanding how to round numbers in to 1 decimal place.

    I agree that concentrating and not getting distracted would make it faster. The next time you do this will you use this idea to improve your time?

    2. Hi Fotu,
      I think that having a big open space around you would be good so that you don't have to worry about furniture. What do you think your new time would be if you applied both ideas?
