Activity: to calculate by selecting appropriate operations for solving problems[lo 1.8.1]

1. In Grade 5 we saw repeatedly how important it was to round off correctly. Amongst other things, it can help us to estimate an answer quickly, without using pencil and paper.

Rounding off

  • Let's revise
  • Explain to your friend how we round off to the nearest 100.

2. Try to complete the following on your own:

If you are unable to do it on your own, ask a friend to help you!
