I have an interactive way to teach rounding to the nearest ten and hundred with your students! Just print out the number cards and gather dry erase board materials for your kiddos!

To see this lesson in action, visit my blog post below:

How to Teach Rounding

1. Polaroid bulletin board: A bulletin board idea with polaroids of the featured landforms (Pages 4-18)

2. Water/land formations categorization: Black and white clip art images for students to color and categorize water and land formations (pages 19-27)

3. Anchor charts: Beautiful, real photographs of all the featured landforms, with the definition of each landform, for you to refer to throughout the unit (pages 28 – 51)

4. Junior explorer certification passport: As your students learn about each of the different landforms, they use their passport to document their learning, eventually earning official explorer status. (Pages 52-77)

5. Lovin’ landforms acrostic poems packet: Students read various non-fiction texts about the landforms, identify the most important ideas, and write an acrostic poem by supporting their answer with ideas from the text. (Pages 78-107)

6. Facts and opinions with landforms: Students identify important facts about specific landforms, referring to the text to support their ideas, and write their opinion. (Pages 108-110)

7. Opinion writing: Students express their opinion about their favorite landform and support their opinion with reasons. (Pages 111-117)

8. Culminating painting project: Students celebrate the end of the landform unit by paining a landform and identifying specific adjectives that describe the landform. (Pages 118-135)
