Rounding decimal numbers/ money. We have been investigating how many pennies we would need to add/ take away to get to the next £. Which is closer? We are now understanding the concept of rounding to the nearest £.
Miss Antonio: Would you rather 12x20p or 5x50p?
“I would rather have 5x50p because 50p is more than 20p.” Maisha
“But you get 12x20p and only 5x50p.” Miss Antonio
“I know that 5 50 =2.50, 12 20p=2.40 so you get 10 more p with 5x50p.” Maisha
