🧩 Rounding Needs Affinity Map

KY.3.NBT.1 Submission Required

In small groups, students review their individual empathy maps from interviews (family members, school staff, or travel agency representative). Each student writes 3–4 key user quotes or needs about using rounded numbers (e.g., "I round prices to see if I have enough money") on sticky notes. Groups cluster similar ideas into categories such as budgeting, time planning, or estimating distance. The class briefly names patterns they notice across users and connects them to how rounding to the nearest 10 or 100 supports decisions.
