This learning resource focuses on rounding numbers to the nearest ten using a number line. It outlines key learning objectives that include identifying the two tens a number falls between, using number lines for rounding, and applying rounding skills to different numbers. The instruction guides teachers through a brief lesson (5 minutes) on the importance of rounding in estimating solutions for addition and subtraction problems. The material explains the rule of rounding—if the last digit is 5 or more, round up; if it is 4 or less, round down. The resource also offers practice opportunities, engages students in real-life applications of rounding like measuring ingredients and estimating time, and reinforces the concept through fun examples, such as comparing rounding to running in baseball. The content concludes with a review of rounding principles and an exit ticket exercise to solidify understanding.
