    Rounding is a method used to simplify numbers by increasing or decreasing them to the nearest digit. It makes numbers easier to describe, understand, calculate, and estimate answers to math problems. A benchmark provides a known standard quantity that can be used to estimate larger unknown quantities, such as using the number of pennies in a labeled jar to estimate the number in a larger unlabeled jar. The rounding rules specify that numbers should be rounded to the nearest friendly number, which is 0 or 10, depending on which single digit the number ends with.

    Rounding Numbers

    By: Joshua Ellison


    Rounding

    What is
    it?
    What is Rounding?

    A method used to shorten #s


    Increase/Decrease to the next
    digit
    Why?

    Makes it easier to describe & understand


    numbers
    Simpler numbers are easier to calculate

    Easier to estimate answers to math questions

    Identifies mistakes in math work


    Benchmark

    A point of destination on a number line

    Ex.

    a jar of pennies labeled with 100 pennies


    next to a much larger unlabeled jar of pennies.
    In this example, knowing the volume that 100
    pennies take up can help in estimating how
    many pennies are in the larger jar.
    *standard known quantity by which other quantities can be measured
    Benchmark Example 1
    Benchmark Example 2
    Friendly
    Number (0 or
    Digit 10)
    0 0
    1 0
    2 0
    3 0
    4 0
    5 10
    6 10
    7 10
    8 10
    9 10
    10 10
