Rounding Numbers and Number Lines

This video tutorial teaches how to round numbers to the nearest ten using a number line. It covers the concepts of benchmark numbers and midpoints, explains common mistakes in rounding, and provides practical examples to illustrate the process. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding number size and benchmark numbers when rounding.

What is a benchmark number in the context of rounding?

• A number that is always larger than the given number.

• A number that is used as a reference point for rounding.

• A number that is exactly in the middle of two numbers.

• A number that is always smaller than the given number.

Which numbers are the benchmark numbers for 157 when counting by tens?

• 140 and 150

• 160 and 170

• 100 and 200
