Introductionm55aff7696cf61b3c_1528450127855_0Introduction

Students revise the difference between approximation and rounding of a number and rules of rounding natural numbers.

Procedurem55aff7696cf61b3c_1528446435040_0Procedure

Students work individually, using computers. They open the SLIDESHOW and observe how we round numbers.

They memorise rules of rounding natural numbers and formulate rules about rounding decimal fractions.

[Slideshow]

After having completed the exercise they present results of their observations:
We round numbers according to the following rules:

- If the digit in the place smaller by one than the place to which we round is 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4, then we round the number down. Then the digit in the place to which we round does not change and smaller places are replaced by zeros. In such case we talk about under‑approximation.

- If the digit in the place smaller by one than the place to which we round is 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, then we round the number up. Then the digit in the place to which we round is increased by one and smaller places are replaced by zeros. In such case we talk about over‑approximation.

Using rules they learnt, students fill in the table:

[Table 1]

Educational game – mathematical domino

The teacher divides the class into 5‑persons groups and distributes sets of mathematical domino.

Students’ task is to match the domino pieces as fast as possible.

[Illustration 1]

The teacher evaluates the students’ work and clarifies doubts.

An extra task:

Arrange numbers in the increasing order.

Lesson summarym55aff7696cf61b3c_1528450119332_0Lesson summary

Students do the revision exercises. Then together they sum‑up the classes, by formulating the conclusions to memorise.

Approximations which are numbers smaller than the exact values are under‑approximationsunder‑approximationsunder‑approximations and those than are numbers greater than this values are over‑approximationsover‑approximationsover‑approximations.

- In mathematics approximation is done according to strict rules. Then it can be called rounding.

- If the digit in the place smaller by one than the place to which we round is 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4, then we round the number down. Then the digit in the place to which we round does not change and smaller places are replaced by zeros. In such case we talk about under‑approximation.m55aff7696cf61b3c_1527752263647_0If the digit in the place smaller by one than the place to which we round is 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4, then we round the number down. Then the digit in the place to which we round does not change and smaller places are replaced by zeros. In such case we talk about under‑approximation.

- If the digit in the place smaller by one than the place to which we round is 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, then we round the number up.
