Near Enough

Programme Outline

Rounding numbers to the nearest 100

Amber and Sam find Uncle Zak loading the Wattbots with 100kg of scrap. Sam does not understand Uncle Zak's phrase 100kg or 'near enough' and consequently overloads one Wattbot causing a pile-up. Amber calls Numberella who demonstrates what is meant by the 'nearest hundred'. While Uncle Zak is preparing the spaceship for take off, Amber notices a flashing warning light and, by rounding the numbers involved, realises the ship is dangerously overloaded. The launch is aborted just in time.
