Math help-- Your Mudbug needs to go to the nearest number to help him/her multiply. It matters if they round too high or too low because it will change the product too far from the original product. Ex: 263x7 Should be 260x7 If you round up to 300x7 the product is too large. (You've overestimated) If you round down to 250x7 the product is too small (you've underestimated.)

April 15-17, 2013 Communication Folders will go home Monday with tests from before testing and picture envelopes for Tuesday. Please return the folders so we can send home Interims on Tuesday.
