Rounding and Approximating Pi

This video tutorial explains how to use rational approximations to locate the irrational number Pi on a number line. It demonstrates rounding Pi to the nearest thousandth and ten thousandth to achieve closer approximations. The tutorial emphasizes the process of rounding and locating Pi accurately on the number line, providing a clear understanding of how to handle irrational numbers in mathematical contexts.
