Rounding off to the nearest 10

Please click on the link to watch the video on how to round off numbers to the

nearest 10.

How to round a number to the nearest 10

Look at the ones digit.

• if it is less than 5 then round the number down by changing the ones digit to zero;

• if it is 5 or more then round the number up by adding one on to the tens digit and changing the ones digit to zero.

Examples

• 37 rounds up to 40 because the ones digit is 7. • 63 rounds down to 60 because the ones digit is 3.

• 145 rounds up to 150 because the ones digit is a 5.

Life-skills

Insects

Helpful and Harmful insects:

Harmful insects

Certain insects can be dangerous to animals and plants. The

following are a handful of insects that can threaten

gardens:

Carpenter ants: These ants will burrow into wood, causing

damage. They may compromise any wooden structure in and

around a home.

Locusts: Various species of locust can damage plants and

crops due to their appetites.

Treehoppers: These small, green insects mimic the look of

leaves, and their appetites can destroy crops and gardens.

Red pavement ant: As they feed on all manner of human

food, these ants can quickly overtake areas in staggering

numbers and deliver painful bites.

Grasshoppers: Certain grasshoppers, like the red-legged

grasshopper, can destroy food crops and transfer parasites

to birds when eaten as prey.

Caterpillars: Many caterpillars, the precursor to adult

moths, will feed constantly on leaves, stems and other parts

of plants. The tobacco hornworm moth caterpillar can

damage potato and tomato plants.

Helpful insects.

Plants depend on insects to transfer pollen as they search

for food and many insects are quite helpful to have around.

While some pollinate, others are predators of other pests.

Antlion: A foe of ants, they’ll help eat and control ant

populations and pollinate flowers. They pose no threat to

humans, either.

Big dipper firefly: These colourful insects feast on

earthworms, slugs and snails during the larval stage.

Fireflies add drama to evening gardens with their twinkling

lights.

Garden spiders: Although some spiders can be venomous,

many are quite handy to have around the garden. They’ll help

control pest populations that can damage plants and crops.

Dragonflies: These aerial artists zip around the yard,

consuming smaller insects that would otherwise pester

plants and humans.

Blue-winged wasp: This wasp attacks the larvae of

Japanese beetles, helping to control beetle populations.

Bees and butterflies: Butterflies and bees are some of the

best pollinators out there.

Put the names of the insects from the picture above into

the correct table:

Healthy eating information sheet

Eating a range of healthy foods

It is important that we eat a wide variety of healthy foods, such as

vegetables, fruit, meat and dairy products. This means that we are

getting all the important vitamins and nutrients that our body needs

to complete everyday activities. These foods help our bodies to grow

and repair as well as helping our sight, breathing, heart function and

blood flow.

FOOD GROUPS Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are our main source of energy. They provide us with

the fuel that our bodies need to survive. Carbohydrates are very

important. If we don’t have enough carbohydrates in our diet, we

become tired and easily upset. Main sources of carbohydrates

include bread, rice, pasta and potatoes.

Protein

Protein is used to help our muscles and organs to repair and grow.

Protein is especially important for children who are still growing. It

is also important when we exercise because it helps to build our

muscles to repair and strengthen. Main sources of protein include

meat, fish, eggs and green vegetables.

Fats

Fats are another type of energy that our body needs. This is a

secondary source of fuel and therefore our bodies don’t need as

much of it. Some fats are better for our body than others. These

are called healthy fats and they include avocado, nuts and certain

oils. Fats are important in small amounts because they help our body

to absorb essential vitamins and minerals.
