Number Line Concepts and Rounding

Miss Davis introduces rounding using a vertical number line, focusing on rounding numbers to the thousands place. She explains the concept of rounding, creates a vertical number line, and demonstrates how to identify endpoints and midpoints. The example of rounding 7,628 to the nearest thousand is used, showing how to plot the number and make a rounding decision based on proximity to the endpoints.
