TEACHINGWEEKTOPICS AND OUTCOMESINSTRUCTIONAL APPROACHES AND STRATEGIESRESOURCESREMARKS3 hours3 hoursRound off numbers to the nearest, 10, 100 and 1000.Explain the importance of rounding off in everyday life.Review the meaning of the word “nearest”. Review rounding of whole numbers less than 100 to the nearest 10.Round numbers to the nearest 100. Use an appropriate number line.Example: 236 is nearer to 200 than 300. Therefore, 236 is rounded off as 200, to the nearest hundred.Discuss the case of 250 being round off as 300 by convention (as in the case of 25 being rounded off as 30).Round off 5-digit numbers and discuss the rounding of mid-way numbers such as 3500 is rounded off as 4000 (to the nearest 1000).Number line strip.Addition and subtraction of numbers up to 10 000.Add and subtract numbers up to two 3-digit numbers without using calculators.Use calculators for adding and subtracting 4-digit numbers.Estimate and add or subtract.287 + 156 (first estimate by rounding)= 300 + 160.
