Math
We spent a good deal of time reviewing rounding. Most students are using the method outlined in the video "Math Antics". Henry also taught us his way of rounding.

Example: Round 3729 to the nearest thousand and hundred

4000
3729   The number is between 3000 and 4000. The 7 hundreds tells us to round up
3000    because it is larger than 5 hundreds (our half-way point) so it is 4000 to the 
           nearest thousand

3800
3729  The number is between 3700 and 3800. The 2 tens tells us to round down because
3700  it is smaller than 5 tens (our half-way point) so it is 3700 to the nearest hundred.

Please make sure you complete your review sheets for tomorrow. We will have several tests in the upcoming weeks. Keep practicing!

Henry thinks of rounding like an apple rolling down a hill with the top of the hill being the middle point.
