Inquiry into Mathematics
Today we focused on estimating sums and differences. To find the sum we add and when finding the difference with subtract. When we estimate, we use our rounding skills – 0-4 round down and 5-9 round up. Remember to take your time and do what the question is asking!!
Rounding Rules:
0-4: round down
5 and above: round up
Points to remember:
4.9 = 4 and 9/10 (tenths)
4.99 = 4 and 99/100 (hundredths)
4.999 = 4 and 99/1000 (thousandths)
¼ = 0.25
½ = 0.50
¾ = 0.75
- 2.25 million is written in standard form as
2, 250, 000.
As a decimal we write it as 2.25 million (2 whole million + 0.25 million) and as a fraction it is ¼ of a million (25 is ¼ of 100).
