In this truncating and error intervals worksheet, students work on truncating numbers and understanding how truncation affects error intervals.
Section A focuses on truncating numbers to various levels, such as integers, powers of ten, decimal places, and significant figures. This section is well structured in tabular form in order to help students gain confidence in working with different forms of truncation.
Section B requires students to identify the lowest and highest possible values after truncation and then calculating the error intervals for various truncated numbers. Finally, students must approximate the areas of shapes by truncating and rounding measurements, comparing the outcomes and understanding how different methods affect the results.
