Maths
Can you remember the rule for rounding?
5 or more, let it soar; 4 or less, let it rest.
OR
5 to 9 climb the vine; 0 to 4, slide to the floor!
We have to apply this rule using place value, depending on whether we are rounding to 10, 100, 1000 or higher.
Challenge 1
- Round 15360 to the nearest 100
If rounding to 100, will we round 60 down to 15300 or up to 15400?
- Round 572651 to the nearest 100
- Round 15817 to the nearest 1000
- Round 169542 to the nearest 1000
- Round 476700 to the nearest 1000
Challenge 2
- Round 37895 to the nearest 10000
- Round 63742 to the nearest 10000
- Round 96280 to the nearest 10000
- Round 209000 to the nearest 10000
- Round 672590 to the nearest 10000
Challenge 3
- Round 154071 to the nearest 100000
- Round 380138 to the nearest 100000
- Round 561302 to the nearest 100000

Reading and Writing
Over Christmas, I was watching a film which had Jack and the Beanstalk in it. When I saw this, I thought it could make an exciting story, full of expanded noun phrases and don’t forget those fronted adverbials!
Read the story starter below and then work through the sheets: answering the questions using your imagination, using a colon to make a list, and then finish the story. The questions will help to give you ideas. Imagine taking them for a walk!
