● Introduce the topic and state the objectives clearly.

● Play the video on rules of significant numbers. Tell the pupils to pay attention to the
rules.
● Ask the students to state the rules for identifying significant figures in a number
1. All non-zero digits are significant.
2. All zeros between non-zero digits are significant.
3. All trailing zeros in decimal numbers are significant.
4. All leading zeros are not significant.
5. All trailing zeros in whole numbers are not significant.

● Present the practice page on the textbook and have them take turns to tell the class the
number of significant figures in given numbers.
● Give them independent practice tasks for evaluation.

● Review the objective of the lesson.

LESSON 2: ESTIMATION (40 Minutes)

● Today, we will be using our knowledge of rounding to estimate amounts.

● Explain the concept and method of solving problems by estimation.

● Solve a few examples on estimation with the class.


● Relate the concept of estimation to a real life example.
