rounding song
By TX teacher

Clip to ScrapBook   
I just taught rounding to the tens place today and they didn't get it until I taught them the Rounding Song. Music seemed to work w/ my class. Maybe it will help yours?

"If You're Rounding and You Know It"
Sung to the
tune of "If You're Happy and You Know It..."
If it's 5 or greater you go up. (clap)(clap)
If it's 5 or greater you go up. (clap)(clap)
If it's 5 or greater, if it's 5 or greater, if it's 5 or greater you go up.

If it's 4 or less leave it alone.(clap)(clap)
If it's 4 or less leave it alone.(clap)(clap)
If it's 4 or less, if it's 4 or less, if it's 4 or less leave it alone.

Everything

to the left stays the same. (clap)(clap)
Everything to the left stays the same. (clap)(clap)
Everything to the left, everything to the left, everything to the left stays the same.

Everything to the right becomes a zero. (clap)(clap)
Everything to the right becomes a zero. (clap)(clap)
Everything to the right, everything to the right, everything to the right becomes a zero.
