Writing Numbers to the Nearest 10

Writing numbers to the nearest 10 means finding to which 10 that number is closest.

These numbers are all tens. Tens always have a zero in the ones place.

Example:

Write 68 crayons to the nearest 10.

(This sum is asking you to which 10 the number 68 is closer.)

The number line can be used to show this.

There are 2 tens on this number line,

60 = 6 tens

and

70 = 7 tens

The number 68 comes between 60 and 70. The number 65 is halfway between 60 and 70.

Now look carefully. Is the number 68 closer to 60 or to 70?

If you said it is closer to the 70, then you are correct!

We say that 68 written to the nearest ten is 70.

Here is another example: Round 34 to the nearest ten.

34 comes between the tens numbers 30 and 40.

COMPREHENSION Once upon a time a hare and a hyena went fishing. When they had caught a lot of fish, they made a fire and hung the fish above it to smoke. Night came and they lay down to rest.

“I’m tired,” the hare said. “I’m going to sleep.”

“We musn’t,” the hyena said. “Someone may come and steal our fish.”

“I don’t care,” the hare said, but he did not trust the hyena. Quietly he took a long metal rod and stuck one end of it in the fire.

The hyena did not go to sleep. After some time he said, “Hare, Hare, can you hear me? Are you awake?” When there was no answer, he decided that the hare was asleep. He got up quietly to steal the fish.

The hare was waiting for him. As the hyena reached for the fish, the hare grabbed the metal rod from the fire and begin hitting him with it. The hyena screamed with fright and ran into the darkness. In the morning he tried to pretend that nothing had happened. But the hot end of the metal rod had burned lines across his back. Those lines are still there to remind everyone that the hyena is a thief.

COMPREHENSION

Read the following passage carefully.

Remember to read the passage more than once. It is also very important to pay attention to the vocabulary of the passage.

These are some words to note: udder rapid

slaughter prohibited

consumption function

robust tilling

obvious production

draught inventions

‘Cattle’ refers to live animals such as cows and bulls reared for a particular use. These animals are raised as dairy cows or beef cows and for calf production.

The dairy cows are thinner than beef cows and have larger udders (a bag-like, milk- producing organ of the cow). The

milk from these animals is collected and sold as milk or other dairy products.

The beef cows are raised for slaughter and red-meat consumption for people. They are more robust than dairy cows and

do not have overly large udders, yet they do produce enough milk for their calves. It is obvious that dairy cows live longer than beef cows.

In the poorer countries of the world, small scale farmers use cattle as draught animals. Draught animals are animals

used for pulling loads. On the larger farms and in richer countries this function has been brought to nought because of the rapid inventions of machinery.

In some regions of the world, especially some states in India, the slaughter of cattle is prohibited. This is possibly

because of their reliance on the animal. They rely on the animal for food, for the tilling of fields and even use the cow dung as fuel and fertilizer.

The following questions are about the passage which you have just read .Answer the questions in the space provided.

Use full sentences, correct grammar, punctuation and spelling.
