Rapper Hicks

Rounding Rap

Find the place value and circle the digit.
Move to the right and underline, get it!
0-4 circle stays the same,
5-9 add one to the game.
Now, flex your muscles like a hero,
Underlined numbers change to zero.
All other digits remain the same.
Yo! You're a winner in the ROUNDING game!


A couple weeks ago I taught a lesson on rounding and my teacher gave me a rounding rap to perform for the kids. So I decided to dress up for the rap and the students absolutely loved it! I also enjoyed myself. The rap is great because it has everything in it that you need to know for rounding, and I mean everything. It was so nice to hear the students referring back to the rap later on in the week when they had to do rounding problems.
