This lesson focuses on rounding multi-digit whole numbers, specifically enhancing students' ability to round to different place values, such as the thousands and ten-thousands. The learning objective is for students to round large numbers efficiently, which is vital for solving real-life mathematical problems. The lesson begins with an engaging opening activity contextualized in a stadium setting to illustrate the importance and utility of rounding. Instructional modeling includes the use of a vertical number line to demonstrate rounding steps. Students engage in guided practice with various problems, including real-world applications and challenges that encourage critical thinking about when and why to round numbers in different contexts. The lesson culminates in an exit ticket that reinforces the objectives by having students apply their understanding of rounding rules using place value logic.
