Our First Music Video!

This past week, students have been reviewing and learning the steps to rounding numbers. My students in the past struggled with some of the steps, so I got some inspiration from our friend Beyonce, and changed the words to one of her songs.

Our new song is "It's Replaceable" and the students performed it so that they could share their knowledge with the world!! :)

(We apologize...The papers that the students are holding are supposed to give the viewer an idea of how this works with numbers, however, you cannot see the numbers from far away. We are in the process of working out a way for you to see this process.)

Thanks for watching!!





Song Lyrics:

You must be rounding
You must be rounding
All you need to know is place value
Find hundreds, tens, ones and then you (baby)
You must be rounding
You must be rounding
0 through 4, do no more
5 through 9, and don't forget it, add one more
It's replaceable!

To the left To the left
Everything you had leave it all to the left (ooo)
To the right To the right
All you should have are zeros in sight
