Collision Course

Programme Outline

 

Rounding 2-digit and 3-digit numbers to the nearest 10

Uncle Zak has to enlist the help of Amber and Sam to help prevent a disastrous collision with a piece of debris. The children have to go into space to take some measurements. Uncle Zak says measurements to the nearest 10m will suffice, but Amber is not keen on using rounded numbers. Numberella demonstrates how to round numbers. The children work quickly and the debris is pulled to safety, much to everyone's relief.
