T​he second poster outlines the steps to rounding numbers, with an example included. 

​The third poster shows a fun visual way to remember the rules of rounding. You could use a real helium filled balloon to explain this the first time. Using a real helium balloon, explain that 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 fingers can hold onto the balloon. But, lift the last finger (number 5), and the balloon is released and rises into the air (so we round up for 5 or more). Use this poster as a visual reminder of the rounding rule with the lesson demonstration..
