Verse #1
Climb the estimating ladder if you please
It makes rounding numbers to the tens a breeze
Take the tens for your number, and to the rung go.
Should you stay there, or move up; your ones will tell you so.
If its four or less, you stay on that rung as before
If its five or more you will step up one rung more
Climb the estimating ladder, you will be
So much better at rounding numbers, you will see!
Verse #2
Climb the estimating ladder if you please
It makes rounding numbers to the hundreds a breeze
Take the hundreds for your number, and to the rung go.
Should you stay there, or move up; your ones will tell you so.
If its four or less, you stay on that rung as before
If its five or more you will step up one rung more
Climb the estimating ladder, you will be
So much better at rounding numbers, you will see!
Verse #4
Climb the estimating ladder if you please
It makes rounding numbers to the thousands a breeze
. . .
Climb the estimating ladder, you will be
So much better at rounding numbers, you will see!
