Maths

When you are doing rounding you look at the number you are rounding. It is very important that you know  your place value. If the number one place value behind bigger than five round it up. For example 79 is rounded to 80 .  Rounding is a life skill we need to know how to do for a few jobs. Like in a school you are buying pencils you will round the children to the nearest hundred so you can estemate how many. And for work when you need to copy some sheets you round to see how many you need approximately. Rounding and estimating sometimes go togeth like in the examples I gave you.

I like to round by using my resources like a number line.I also like to round with a hill,what do is I put the two numbers at the top then I see wich one rolls down and one rolls up

Yesterday in maths we were rounding to the nearest 100. For example the number 562 and it rounds up because the tens number is greater then five so you round to 600. Examples of my work 2345 to the nearest 1000=2000.

I used the rounding mounting to help me get the anwsers correct and the number line. And I rouded hundreds like this 350 rounded by a 100=400 and Iused a number line and 460roudid by 100=500. It was quite easy .

On Monday the 2nd of October, we were learning in maths, rounding. 
If your number is 15 and you rounding to the nearest 10, it would be 20 
because if it was 14 and you were rounding to the nearest ten it would be 10. 

15,243 rounded to the nearest 1,000 is 15,000. 
693 rouded to the nearest 10 is 700. 
3,823 roundeed by the neares-t 1,000 is 4,000

In maths we did rounding numbers by using a number line or the mountain to help us . We had lots of challenges to do. Some of the challenges were easy ,hard ,or normal. This is question – 234 rounded to the nearest 10 is 230. Challenge number 1 was quite easy but challenge number 2 and 3 was quite tricky. Rounding was fun!

In the Holidays I went to the shops for my mum.

My mum told me that she wanted a fizzy drink and for me to get a drink and some sweets.

My mum’s drink cost £1 and my drink cost 60p so I had to work out how much I could spend. I had a ten pound note so I needed to check I would get the right change.

The shopping cost £1.60 so I worked out I would need £8.40 change.

That’s maths in real life!

The Great Wall of China was built over 2000 years ago,and it was built by Qin Shi Huangdi,the first emperor of China during the Qin Dynasty.

Alsothe Great Wall of China is 8 metres high on the highest point of the Wall.

It is the longest building in the world and it is a really famous building.

Also it is a historical place in Beijing.

It takes around 18 months to walk the Great Wall of China because of its length.

I use maths in real life when my mum makes me and my two brothers pizza, so I say to my mum yo have to cut it into thirds.

Another time when I use maths in real life is when I am in the shop and I have to subtract the amount I am spending so I can work out how much change I have.

Finally I use maths in real life when I am in the house and I have to use my knowledge to work out maths problems my mum give me to get better at math than I already was.

It was half term last week and even though I wasn’t at school, I still used my Maths skills! I went to the shop to get my dad and me some drinks because we were tidying at the weekend with my dad. It cost 75p each and I got crisps and they cost £1.00 each so it cost me a total of £2.50. I had £3.50 on me so I knew I had enough money.

After more tidying my dad wanted more drinks so we went back to the shops. My dad got a 65p drink and £1.00 crisps and I got a £1.00 drink and a £1.00 crisps then went back home and had a sit down. In total for the whole day I spent 75p+75p+£1.00+65p+£1.00+£1.00+£1.00=£6.15
