Envisions Math
Rounding means making a number simpler but keeping its value close to what it was.
The result is less accurate, but easier to use.
Example: 73 rounded to the nearest ten is 70, because 73 is closer to 70 than to 80. But 76 goes up to 80.
This is the common method:
• Decide which is the last digit to keep
• Increase it by 1 if the next digit is 5 or more (this is called rounding up)
• Leave it the same if the next digit is less than 5 (this is called rounding down)

Dear Family Member:
This week our class will be focusing on how problem solving can lead to new ideas and new products. We will be talking about people who came up with new inventions when investigating and trying to solve a problem.
Here are some activities you can do with your child to help reinforce the skills we’ll be practicing.
Word Workout
- Words to Know: metaphor Help your child think of an invention that has changed your family’s life. Then work with your child to use the list words to tell about that invention.
- Spelling/Phonics: long a (spelled ay, ai, a_e, ea, ei, eigh, ey) Rewrite the list words for your child, but leave out the vowels in each word. Have your child write the missing vowels.
Comprehension: cause and effect
Read about the invention of the printing press. Help your child fill in blanks that will connect the causes and the effects of the invention.
