Rounding Numbersto the
Nearest Hundred
by Mrs. Zagrodny
When you find the hundred that is
closest to a number, you areroundin
g.
For example, 400 is the closest ten to 360.
So, 360 to the nearest 100 is rounded to 400.
Again, let’s think about a number line like a
roller coaster.
You might think about a number line that
looks like this:
100 300
200
On this number line, what number would come half
way between 100 and 200?
100 300
200
150
What number would come half way between 200 and
300?
100 300
200
150
250
What hundred would be next?
100

150 250 350

What number would be half way between?
Can you guess about where 170 would be on this number line?

If the roller coaster stopped, what number
would it roll to?
Can you guess about where 230 would be on this number line?

What about a number like 250? It’s right in the
middle!

Our rule is to round to the next hundred.

Tell a number that would round to 100.
110120

When you round to the nearest hundred, look in the tens place.
If it has 1,2,3, or 4 round down.If it has 5, 6 ,7, 8, or 9 round up.
To round remember this rhyme,
5, 6, 7, 8, 9
GO UP all the time!!
Rounding numbers is so fun,We will do it 'till we're done.
If a number's 1-4,Round it down right through the
floor.If a number's 5-9,
Round it up it is just fine. Round up,
Round down, 1,2,3,4 --- 1-2, 3-4
Now it’s your turn!
