 Rational Number: ◦ a fraction made from integers  Sum: ◦ ADD  Difference: ◦ Subtract  Rounding: ◦ Choose easy #’s close to hard #’s.

Decimals  less than one ◦ round to 0, 0.5 or 1  more than one ◦ round to the nearest integer (whole #) Fractions  less than one ◦ round to 0, ½ or 1  mixed numbers ◦ round to the nearest integer (whole #)

 0.2 rounds to ________  0.4 rounds to ________  0.7 rounds to ________  0.75 rounds to ________  1.6 rounds to ________  ¼ rounds to _________  1/3 rounds to _________  3/5 rounds to _________  1 ¾ rounds to _________

Estimate the value of –  Both numbers are more than one and should be rounded to nearest integer. ◦ – 4.23 → – 4 ◦ 2.8 → 3  – = –1  – ≈ –1

Estimate the value of 0.94 – (–0.43).  Both numbers are less than one unit away from zero and should be rounded to the nearest 0.5. ◦ 0.94 → 1 ◦ – 0.43 → – 0.5  1 – (–0.5) = = 1.5  0.94 – (–0.43) ≈ 1.5

Estimate the value of.  Each fraction is less than 1 unit from zero so round to the nearest.  
