Willow tackle the tarsia


Last week the children focused on their rounding ability, rounding to the nearest 1,000,000! With the help of a rounding rap (and flexing their muscles like a hero) the children soon became masters! At the beginning of the week, some children were really struggling with the concept - it is difficult. However, following a rounding-off, it soon became apparent that the children were fully established mathemagicians by Friday.

At one point last week, Callie was undefeated, holding the floor for seven rounds! Astonishing. Our current professional lies in Ayomade, who could not be beaten today! Along with our rounding-offs, today we tackled the tarsia, which required us to not only round, but spot mistakes, find missing answers and problem solve. The children astounded me with their resilience in this task!


Let's see if anyone can complete these challenges at home for an additional 10 dojos...
1.) Round to the nearest million:
A.96,543,210
B. 5,678,901
C. 64,120,155
D. 19,872,130
E. 469,810,212
F. 9,921,000
