[school bell rings]

A stick figure teacher stands in a classroom next to an old TV set.

He says CLASS, CLASS,
LISTEN UP.
YES, SO TODAY WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT.
ROUNDING.
THIS IS SOMETHING YOU'LL BE
USING FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
NO, I DON'T MEAN
DRAWING CIRCLES.
ROUNDING HAS TO
DO WITH MATH.
HOW?
WELL, I GUESS THAT'S
WHAT THE VIDEO IS FOR.

He turns on the old TV.

As music plays, a song plays that says
LET'S SAY YOU NEED
A WHOLE NUMBER
LIKE 6 OR 2
BUT YOU HAVE 7 decimal 6
WHAT ON EARTH CAN WE DO?
WELL, YOU GOTTA...
ROUND, ROUND,
ROUND UP OR DOWN
YOU GOTTA...
ROUND, ROUND
ROUND UP OR DOWN
HOW DO YOU, ROUND, ROUND,
ROUND UP OR DOWN
I'LL TELL YOU
HOW TO ROUND
HOW TO ROUND...

Two numbers appear on screen: 8 decimal 3 and 8 decimal 8.
The decimal numbers start blinking.

The song says
SO LOOK AT THE
NUMBER ON THE RIGHT
IT WILL TELL YOU TO
ROUND DOWN OR UP
IF IT'S FROM 1 TO 4
YOU ROUND DOWN
IF IT'S FROM 5 TO 9
YOU ROUND UP...

8 decimal 3 becomes 8 and 8 decimal 8 becomes 9.

The song continues
YOU GOTTA...
ROUND, ROUND
ROUND UP OR DOWN
YOU GOTTA...
ROUND, ROUND
ROUND UP OR DOWN
HOW DO YOU,
ROUND, ROUND
ROUND UP OR DOWN
I'LL TELL YOU HOW TO
ROUND, HOW TO ROUND
LET PRACTISE!
7 decimal 6 ROUNDS UP TO 8
2 decimal 3 ROUNDS DOWN TO 2
6 decimal 1 ROUNDS...
DOWN TO 6
YOU GOT IT!
AND 1 decimal 8 ROUNDS
UP TO UP TO 2
YOU GOTTA...
ROUND, ROUND
ROUND UP OR DOWN
YOU GOTTA...
ROUND, ROUND
ROUND UP OR DOWN
NOW WE CAN
ROUND, ROUND
ROUND UP OR DOWN
WE'LL TELL YOU
HOW TO ROUND
HOW TO ROUND.

The song ends and the stick figure teacher turns off the old TV.

He says THERE WE ARE.
WELL, I HOPE YOU ALL
LEARNED HOW TO ROUND, ROUND
ROUND UP OR DOWN.
SO, LET'S THINK...
WHAT'S SOMETHING WE
COULD ROUND DOWN?
THE NUMBER OF TESTS?
[class cheering]
I GUESS SO.
WHAT ABOUT ROUND UP...
YOUR GRADES?
[class cheering]
I'M STARTING TO SEE
A PATTERN HERE.
HOW ABOUT WE ROUND UP
THE TIME FOR LUNCH?

[bell ringing]

The teacher says SOUND GOOD?

[class cheering]
[whistling]
