In your maths book, answer these questions. 

List at least 5 different countries and the currency that they use. 

Which countries use dollars and cents? 

How are the coins and notes that these countries use different from Australian coins and notes? How are they similar? 

What symbols do other countries use instead of the dollar and cent symbols? 

Draw a picture of at least 1 coin and 1 note from each country and label them with the amount and the country of origin.

Look to see if the number is closer to Zero or 5.

Please copy this into your maths books

If the number ends in a 1 or 2, round it down to the nearest 5c
If the number ends in a 3, or 4, round it up to the nearest 5c

If the number ends in a 6 or 7, round it down to the nearest 5c
If the number ends in a 8, or 9, round it up to the nearest 5c


Examples:
$1.00 = stays the same
$1.01 = round down to $1.00
$1.02  = round down to $1.00
$1.03 = round up to $1.05
$1.04 = round up to $1.05
$1.05 = stays the same
$1.06 = round down to $1.05
$1.07 = round down to $1.05
$1.08 = round up to $1.10
$1.09 = round up to $1.10
$1.10 = stays the same

It doesn't matter how big the number gets, like with odd and even numbers, we always look at the last number to work out if the whole number needs to be rounded up or down.

e.g. $1205.06 = round down to nearest 5.c  =  $1205.05

$405.58 = round up to the nearest 5c
= $405.60

Practice:
Round the following amounts up or down to the nearest 5c in your maths books. 
1. $4.06 
2. $1.98 
3. $87.03 
4. $2.04 
5. $0.32
6.$7.97
