Case: Rounding Numbers
A student in Mr. Davis' class is struggling to round numbers to the nearest ten and hundred. He has tried showing the student a number line, an open number line, a chart, and a rounding rap. He even wrote the steps down for the student. The student doesn't understand how to find the benchmark numbers for the problem. Mr. Davis tried to help the student with skip counting but that still doesn't help. For example, the rounding number is 36 to the nearest ten. The student doesn't understand that 36 is between 30 and 40. What's next?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It sounds like the student do not have any concept of number sense. I would try using a 100 chart and have the student place a colored chip on the number you give him. Then have him place two other different color chips below and above that number to whatever place value your looking to round too. Have him count the colored chips to see which direction is closer to the right place value. Maybe this will help him start to understand.
EX: rounding number is 36, place red chips from 37-40, and blue chips from 35-30. Hope it helps. |

| Comments: I like your idea of using chips and charts with their hands. I believe that if students use their hands or are active when they are learning, then they are more likely to remember the material. Which is why I think the approach you went will definitely be helpful in the students learning. |

| Comments: I would use this solution in my classroom. Manipulatives and a chart would help to see and understand the concepts in my opinion. |

| Comments: This sounds like a fun solution. Once the student gets the idea of counting the chips, they can be removed and s/he can count the numbers. |
