Fun with the Rounding Rap- Mr. Baxter's Math classes only

Ok, so we are going to have some fun with the Rounding Rap this year.

Some of you already know the Rounding Rap, some of you don't.......YET.

Here it is if you don't know it or might need a reminder.

Find your place value,
Circle that digit,
Move to the right and underline.....Get it?
Zero through four the circle stays the same,
five through nine add one to the game.
Now flex your muscles like a hero,
Numbers to the right turn to Zero.
All the other numbers stay the same,
Now you're a winner in the rounding game.

These are all the steps to rounding any number whether it is a whole number or a decimal.


Now here is the FUN part. ( This part is optional and is not required, but there will be a reward)

The first thing I want you to do is to go to the Franklin County Library, on the square, and ask for my wife, Mrs. Baxter.  Tell her you are in my math class and tell her you want to sing the Rounding Rap for her.

If you sing the Rounding Rap to her, she will let me know you have done it and I will give you a Homework Pass good for Math class.  You can go in any week day before 5:00 pm and sing it to her or catch her at an event like Country Fest or Trick or Treat on the square.

More fun with the Rounding Rap- I am also looking for volunteers to star in a Rounding Rap music video.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN EITHER OF THESE ASSIGNMENTS COME SEE ME AND LET ME KNOW.
