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!

3. Complete the following table:

number rounded off to the nearest 100 rounded off to the nearest 1 000
3.1 7 995
3.2 47 216
3.3 150 505
3.4 3 409 235

Assessment

Learning Outcome 1: The learner will be able to recognise, describe and represent numbers and their relationships, and to count, estimate, calculate and check with competence and confidence in solving problems.

Assessment Standard 1.8: We know this when the learner estimates and calculates by selecting and using operations appropriate to solving problems that involve:

1.8.1: rounding off to the nearest 5, 10, 100 or 1 000.
