Round approximate numbers appropriately in Year 9 Maths

Focus on rounding numbers and upper and lower bounds. Start with “Apply Knowledge of Upper and Lower Bounds”, then explain the idea in your own words.
Year 9 learners practise rounding numbers and upper and lower bounds.
The activities include Apply Knowledge of Upper and Lower Bounds, Estimate Calculations By Rounding to One Significant Figure, Find the Upper and Lower Bounds When Rounding Numbers, and related practice.
