Teaching guide

What students learn

Recognise how using approximations of real numbers in repeated calculations affects the result compared with exact values.

How to teach it

Compare a chain of calculations done with rounded values against one done with exact values, and see how small approximations build up across repeated steps.

Watch out for

Rounding too early in a multi-step calculation, which grows the error in the final answer.
