So my little brother is in quarantine since someone in his class came down with CoVID. He's been given work to do at home from his teacher and me and my mum have been helping him to it. He's in Year 3 btw

Anyway, last night it was my turn to do some maths with him and learn about rounding. The context was prices: if I want to calculate how much 7.88 + 6.92 is I can calculate 8 + 7 first and then work out the difference.

And he just didn't get it. Normally he's a whiz at maths, regularly gets 100% in his tests. But he just could grasp the concept of having to calculate a rough answer before the actual answer
