Check understanding
- Estimate the answer to a calculation by rounding all values appropriately
- Calculate upper and lower bounds of a rounded measurement
- Express error intervals using inequality notation
“If a length is measured as 7 cm to the nearest cm, can your child say the actual length could be anywhere from 6.5 cm to 7.5 cm — understanding that rounding creates a range of possible values?”
