Focus on rounding decimals to estimate answers. Start with “Estimate the Answer to an Addition by Rounding”, then explain the idea in your own words.
Year 6 learners practise rounding decimals to estimate answers.
The activities include Estimate the Answer to an Addition by Rounding, Multiply Decimals by Rounding to Whole Numbers, Round Decimals to Nearest Whole Numbers Before Dividing, and related practice. The checked support below includes video, practice, teaching-practice, teaching. Open a resource in its provider's website and choose the format that best helps the learner explain the idea independently.
