Underline the digit They look to the Right neighbor next door if they want to get the rounding right. Most importantly tell them why we round - to estimate and to compute with numbers more easily. Give them the example of ordering books from a book order. If parents give them $15 to spend and they want books that cost $4.95, $2.95, and $6.95, do they have enough dough? Have kids act out rounding at the front of the classroom. Make cards with one digit on one side and make it one digit higher on the other side. Give each kid a zero card as well. Shuffle them around, asking them to round to various place values. They can chant the rap as they decide how to round. Imagine kids holding the numbers: They can also play a rounding game with partners.
