Rounding Rap

We have been working on rounding numbers in math to help us add and subtract. The Scholars learned a Rounding Rap to help remember the steps to rounding. Below Oh Kler, Moo, Thein, Caleb, and Kyrin perform the Rounding Rap:



Then, Kyrin and Caleb REALLY broke it down for us:



Lyrics:


Find the place value and circle that digit,
move to the right and underline, get it?
Zero to four, circle stays the same,
Five to nine, add one is the game.
Now flex your muscles like a hero,
digits to the right change to zero.
All the other digits stay the same,
yo, you're a winner in the rounding game! Word.

  2. Wonderful! This seems like a great way to remember seemingly arbitrary math rules.
