Reflection- maths/rounding with compensation

Today I learned how to do rounding with compensation. This is when you turn a number into the closest ten to make it easier to solve. This part is rounding! There is another part called compensation which is where you either add on or take away what you used to make it to the nearest ten.

Because of this learning I can now do rounding with compensation easily. I had a good time doing this. It was fun teaching Mieke and Jessica how to do rounding with compensation because I enjoy teaching people.

The next step in my learning for this subject is to try this with harder numbers to challenge me.
