Lesson 1

Rounding and estimation, the lesson I chose to teach because it looked the easiest...

One of those videos by Brother Baird was the first thing I got to look at in the lesson. Rounding is close to the real value, but not exactly the amount. The purpose of rounding is to help us pick up on patterns that might apply to the use of other numbers. It gives an approximate, not solid answer.

Rounding is the process of estimation.
1,234,567.8901
anything to the right of the decimal point is tenths, hundreths, and thousandths, ten thousandths, hundred thousandths, and so on.
anything to the left of the decimal point is ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands, millions, etc.

Anything above 5 is rounded up and anything below 5 is rounded down.

I also did a worksheet about rounding and after I did the worksheet, I did a quiz on rounding. I took my time on the quiz and ended up getting 100%

I worked on this for a little over an hour and I printed out the pages I need to teach this week.
