Rounding Numbers to the Nearest Hundred by Mrs
Rounding Numbers to the Nearest Hundred by Mrs. Zagrodny
When you find the hundred that is closest to a number, you are rounding .
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: 100 200 300
On this number line, what number would come half way between 100 and 200? 150 100 200 300
What number would come half way between 200 and 300? 150 100 250 200 300
What hundred would be next? What number would be half way between? 150 100 250 200 350 300 400
100 Can you guess about where 170 would be on this number line? 150 250 350 170 200 300 40
100 If the roller coaster stopped, what number would it roll to? 150 250 350 170 200 300 400
100 Can you guess about where 230 would be on this number line? 150 350 230 200 300 400
100 If the roller coaster stopped, what number would it roll to? 150 250 350 230 200 300 400
Can you guess about where 360 would be on this number line? 150 250 360 100 200 300 400
100 What would you round it to? 150 250 360 200 300 400
Can you guess about where 410 would be on this number line? 150 250 350 410 100 200 300 400
100 What would you round it to? 150 250 350 410 200 300 400
100 Can you guess about where 190 would be on this number line? 150 250 350 190 200 300 400
100 Can you guess about where 190 would be on this number line? 150 250 350 190 200 300 400
100 What would you round it to? 150 250 350 190 200 300 400
What about a number like 250? It’s right in the middle! 100 150 200 350 300 40
100 Our rule is to round to the next hundred. 150 200 350 300 400
Tell a number that would round to 100. 150 140 130 120 110 100 250 300 40
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! You can get some help from the number line.
What hundred is closest to 560? Put your bean on the closest hundred.
What hundred is closest to 790? Put your bean on the closest hundred.
What hundred is closest to 830? Put your bean on the closest hundred.
What hundred is closest to 990? Put your bean on the closest hundred.
What hundred is closest to 650? Put your bean on the closest hundred.
What hundred is closest to 940? Put your bean on the closest hundred.
Are you roller coaster ready for an assignment?
