Hi 3E!  I hope you are finding your way to our blog because you’re looking for problems to solve and are excited about what we’re discovering in math.  Have fun solving problems with multiplication or problems with rounding to the nearest 10.  Type your math thinking in a comment. 🙂

Keegan has 236 songs on his iPod.  If you were rounding to the nearest 10 how many songs would you say he had?

Rachael had 312 song in her iPod.  If you were rounding to the nearest 10 how many songs would you say she had?

If you added their songs together, found the total and then rounded it to the nearest 10, how many songs would you say they had altogether?
