To round a number to a given place: Find your numberStep 1: Find your number circle Find the place you are rounding to: ten, hundred, thousand or another place value and circle it. ie: Round 6,438 to the nearest hundred H thT thThHTO 6438

Look right next door (Step 2: Look right next door ( Look at the digit to its right) and underline it. H thT thThHTO 6438

5 or more, add 1 more 5 or more, add 1 more If the number you are rounding is followed by 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, round the number up. (add 1 to the number in the circle) ie: Look in the ten place of the number 6,458. We see a 5, so we must add 1 to the number in the circle. H thT thThHTO = 5 H thT thThHTO 65

You can use a number line to round a whole number to a given place. 2,683 Round 2,683 to the nearest hundred. First, find the rounding place Hundreds

Then, find the number on a number line. 2,683 is between 2600 and 2,700

Round the number to the closest hundred on the number line. 2,700 is the closest hundred. Round 2,683 up to 2,700.

Hint: If a number is located directly in the middle of the number line, round up.

Consider the number 4,827. – 4,827 rounded to the nearest ten is 4,830 – 4,827 rounded to the nearest hundred is 4,800 – 4,827 rounded to the nearest thousand is 5,000 Here are some more examples: – 34 rounded to the nearest ten is 30 – 6,809 rounded to the nearest hundred is 6,800 – 1,951 rounded to the nearest thousand is 2,000

Rounding is a form of estimation that you use when an approximation is good enough. For example when you are buying a TV at the store. The cost might be marked at $ You could say it is about $ Rounding is also good to use so that you know what to expect for an answer. It is good to use this skill when you are plugging numbers into a calculator. Ex. Let's say you are adding up your expenses for the month. Power: $230, Telephone: $79.68 Rent: $470 Car Payment: $822. To get a good approximation of the money you will need you could round to the closest hundred: Power: $230 would be$200 Phone $79.68 would be $100 Rent: $470 would be $500 Car: $822 would be $800 Total: $1601 which is close to the estimated total of $1600
