  1. Upper and lower bounds starter 28 has been rounded to the nearest whole number. What is the minimum and maximum value?

  2. Upper and lower bounds • The lower bound is 27.5 and the upper bound is 28.5 • To find the upper and lower bounds we added and subtracted 0.5 because this is half of one whole number

  3. Upper and lower bounds • 240 has been rounded to the nearest ten. • What are the minimum and maximum values? • What is the quick way of working out the answer?

  4. Upper and lower bounds • The lower bound is 235 and the upper bound is 245 • The quick way to work out the answer is to add and subtract 5 because 5 is half of ten.

  5. Upper and lower bound • If a number is rounded to the nearest 100 what do we add and subtract to find the minimum and maximum values? • If a number has been rounded to the nearest one tenth what do we add and subtract to find the minimum and maximum values? • If the number has been rounded to the nearest ten thousand what do we add and subtract this time?

  6. Upper and lower bound • When rounded to the nearest 100 we add and subtract 50 • When rounded to the nearest one tenth we add and subtract 0.05 • When rounded to the nearest ten thousand we add and subtract 5,000

  7. Write down the upper and lower bounds with the following: • 56 to the nearest whole number • 7.8 to the nearest tenth • 3,400 to the nearest thousand • 5.17 to the nearest hundredth • 8,000,000 to the nearest million • 570,000 to two significant figures • 0.00006 to one significant figure • 32,800,000,000 to three significant figures

  8. Upper and lower bounds • Objective: To do calculations involving maximum and minimum using the four arithmetic operations

  9. A rectangle is measured as 5 cm by 8cm to the nearest cm. • Write down the minimum and maximum values for the lengths. • Calculate the minimum and maximum values for the perimeter of the rectangle. • Calculate the minimum and maximum values for the area of the rectangle. • Minimum and maximum lengths are: • 4.5cm and 5.5cm 7.5cm and 8.5cm

  10. A rectangle is measured as 5cm by 8cm to the nearest cm • The perimeter is found by adding all four sides together: • Minimum perimeter is 4.5 + 7.5 + 4.5 + 7.5 which is 24cm. • Maximum perimeter is 5.5 + 8.5 + 5.5+ 8.5 which is 28cm.

  11. A rectangle is measured as 5cm by 8cm to the nearest cm • Minimum area is 4.5 X 7.5 = 33.75 • Maximum area is 5.5 X 8.5 = 46.75

  12. Addition and multiplication • When adding numbers together the minimum value is found by adding the lower bounds together and the maximum value is found by adding the upper bounds. • When multiplying the minimum is found by multiplying the lower bounds and the maximum is found by multiplying the upper bounds

  13. In a month Fred earns £1200 to the nearest hundred pounds and Mary earns £1500 to nearest hundred • What is the minimum and maximum values? • What is the minimum and maximum difference in their earnings? • Minimum and maximum values are: • Fred: £1150 and £1250 • Mary: £1450 and £1550

  14. Fred earns £1200 and Mary earns £1500 to nearest hundred pounds • Minimum difference in earnings will be found as £1450 - £1250 = £200. • Maximum difference in earning will be found as £1550 -£1150 = £400.

  15. Subtraction • To find the minimum difference subtract an upper bound from a lower bound. • To find the maximum difference subtract a lower bound from an upper bound.

  16. Billy travelled 700 miles to nearest hundred miles in 20 hours rounded to nearest hour. • Write down the upper and lower bounds for the mileage and the number of hours. • Calculate the minimum and maximum average speed. • Minimum and maximum values are: • 650 miles and 750 miles • 19.5 hrs and 20.5 hrs

  17. Billy travelled 700 miles in 20 hours • Minimum average speed is found by dividing 650 by 20.5 which is 31.7 mph • Maximum average speed is found by dividing 750 by 19.5 which is 38.5 mph

  18. Division • To calculate the minimum value divide the lower bound by upper bound • To calculate the maximum value divide the upper bound by lower bound

  19. Advice • If you can not work out whether to use upper or lower bounds in a question work out all the possibilities!!!!

  20. Plenary • Volume of a cuboid 6cm by 4cm by 7cm when lengths rounded to nearest whole number. • Three people earn £3,000 £5,000 and £7,000 rounded to nearest thousand. What is the total and average earnings? • The distance between Sheerness and Canterbury is 30 miles to nearest mile. What is the distance between the places?
