This post explains and gives practice opportunities related to TEKS 3.2C:

Instruction

This standard can get easily dumbed down to rounding numbers but, when ready completely, is much more than that. Looking at the TEKS, students should know that numbers sit between consecutive multiples of 10, 100, or 1,000 on a number line in order to round using words.

Oral Language Development

Students process information through talking and conversing, not simply listening or watching a teacher demonstration. Here are so talk structures aligned with 3.2C to help you students unmute in the classroom.

You can find the Google Slide version here. You can also learn more about the Unmute model here.
