Today is Foodie Paradise Day!

The best time of the year!

Free food! Yay!

Can we eat already Ms.Crowell?

The zookeeper laughed at Lion's response and said, " I know a day finally away from the zoo! There is only one rule, during today's adventure to the city friends!"

A rule ?!

What rule?! We need to follow a rule in order to eat free food?!

The zookeeper laughed at the zebra's response and said, "Yes! For the managers of the store to give us free food, we must estimate the amount of food they're giving us! Remember when we did this in class?"

"Oh yes! I remember Ms.Crowell!"

"I do, but it was kind of hard !"

The zookeeper looked at the tiger and reassured him, " Aw, that is why our readers and friends are here to help you all today! Are you ready ?!"

"Yes!"

"Food finally!"

The zookeeper says, "Alright, we are now in the city, friends! Now our first stop is to 'Lane's Market'. Zebra, you are the first one in line, so you will start the estimating problem with the store manager! We are here to help you as well. Are you ready, friend?!"

"Yes!"

The store manager was outside, waiting for the zookeeper and Zebra to arrive. The store manager says, "Welcome! Today you will have to help me estimate the total number of steaks! I have 378 steaks packaged in total. I need to round 378 to the nearest hundred. What is the estimated total number of steaks I have?"

The Zebra stated " Well I know I can round 378 to the nearest hundred. It would be 400. The seven in the tens place is greater than five. So I added one to the hundred and dropped my zeros

"Good Job Zebra! Using the rounding up or down strategy that we learned to help you round the number 378 to the nearest hundred!"

"Good Job!, Here you go eat it all up !"

"I have almost four hundred steaks to eat all by myself. Yay!."

378 378 400

"Foodie Paradise"

Brionna Crowell

A zoo family is going on a walk with their zookeeper. The annual holiday for animals is called Foodie Paradise. During the holiday, animals can walk around the city and eat at different stores and restaurants for free. The store owners will be collecting specific amounts of food to feed the animals, but the only way that the animals can eat is if they guess the estimated amount of food correctly. Can you help the animals and zookeeper estimate the amount of food the animals will eat? Let’s Go!
