Here’s Another Strategy The Clothesline Approach

Step 1 – Read the problem carefully. Round this number to the nearest thousand. 7, 790

Step 2 – Circle the place value you are rounding to Round this number to the nearest thousand. 7, 790

Step 2 – Write down the thousand on either side of this number Round this number to the nearest thousand. 7, 000 7, 790 8, 000

Step 3 – Put the smallest number on the left pole and the largest on the right. Round this number to the nearest thousand. 7, 000 7, 790 8, 000 7, 000 8, 000

Step 4 – Think where your number would go between these poles. Round this number to the nearest thousand. 7, 000 7, 790 7, 500 Now think! 7, 500 would go right in the middle. 8, 000

Step 5 – Hang your number where you think it should go. Round this number to the nearest thousand. 7, 000 7, 790 7, 500 7, 790 8, 000

Step 6 – The pole you are closest to is your answer. Round this number to the nearest thousand. 7, 000 7, 790 7, 500 7, 790 8, 000

The Answer 7, 790 rounded to the nearest thousand is 8, 000 7, 790 8, 000 Note 7, 790 is closer to 8, 000 on the number line.
