Students have the opportunity to practice rounding whole numbers in a fun way with Rounding Whole Numbers. There are six lev
els that include rounding whole numbers to the nearest tens, hundreds, and thousands place. The goal is to round as many numbers correctly in under 30 seconds. High scores are saved and the user even has the opportunity to visit a short tutor section to learn how to round whole numbers.

Hey! Saw your app in a tweet by Tony Vincent, one of my favorite handheld teachers. I’m excited for you and the launch of your new app – partly because it’s super cool (I’m going to share it with my 6th graders asap), and also because it’s fun meeting someone (although we haven’t officially met) with an app in the App store. I have one that’s in development, and currently in beta one. I’m testing it a bunch and it’s so exciting — mine is due out mid January, 2011.
I have a bunch of questions: How do you know Tony? Did you code your app yourself, or did you hire someone? How long did it take Apple to approve your app? Did you have a launch party? How long did it take you to design/make your app? Have you shared it with your district? Administration? Colleagues? What’s been the reaction among your peers?
Keep up the good work, and I look forward to playing with Rounding Whole Numbers!
Sincerely,
-Buzz Garwood
Thanks Buzz! I sent you an email with answers to your questions.
We’ve also made a Rounding app in the UK. Would be interested in your feedback.
