This video tutorial teaches how to round numbers to the leading digit using a number line. It explains the concept of leading digits, benchmarks, and midpoints, and how they help in rounding. The tutorial also highlights common mistakes students make, such as misinterpreting increments on a number line. Practical examples are provided to demonstrate rounding numbers to the nearest benchmark, emphasizing the importance of understanding midpoints. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to round numbers accurately using these concepts.
