Rounding around the room

Today we finished an activity that we started last week, called Rounding Around the Room.  There were total of 28 different rounding questions that students had to answer.  Some were multiple choice,

 while others just gave a number to be rounded to a certain place.

The questions were "around the room" and students were up and moving while they were answering questions.  (I and they love to get to move while doing math!)
This activity was one way for me to see what students know and still need help with when it comes to rounding.

When students finished they completed an extension activity that involved estimating and adding.  We are continuing to hone those estimating skills!  One way you can help your child at home, is by having them estimate in real life.  About how long did it take to get to school? About how much money did you spend at Wal-Mart? About how many noodles are the box? Etc.
