Math:
We completed all pages on rounding and estimating. Common Core 30-33; MJ 32,33,35,36, 39 & two math worksheets
When rounding:
1. Count by the place value that they tell you to round to.  
2. Draw a number line and write your two choices on each end.
3. Place the value that you must round to on your number line.
4. Decide which side is that number closest to & use that number for your answer.

Example: Round 4.569 to the nearest tenth.

1.  Counting by tenths... 4.5, 4.6

      I______________I______________I__
2.   4.5                     4.55                       4.6


3.   I______________I___I___________I__
     4.5                     4.55   4.56               4.6

4.  It is closer to 4.6, so the answer is 4.6.
