 L.Objective: Obtain appropriate upper and lower bounds to solutions of
simple problems
SC1:  Calculate the upper and lower bound for simple problems.​
SC2: Calculate the upper and lower bound for complex problems
SC3:  Apply the knowledge of upper and lower bound to solve the
real life problems.

Keywords: Upper bound, Lower bound,

Rounding, Accuracy, Significant figure CCL: Business, Engineering,
Science & Technology
What we learnt …
• To find the upper bound we have to add half of the unit we rounded to for
example:
• If we rounded to the nearest 10, we add on 5 (half of 10)
• If we rounded to the nearest 1 (whole number), we add on 0.5 (half of 1)
• If we rounded to the nearest 0.1 (1 dp), we add on 0.05 (half of 0.1)
• If we rounded to the nearest 0.01 (2 dp), we add on 0.005 (half of 0.01)
• And if we want the lower bound, we subtract have of the unit
