Rounding Numbers Fun

 Here's a great video, recommended by Miss Nicholson, that will help you with rounding numbers while having fun. Feed your brain!
Rounding to the Nearest Thousand
Rounded numbers are easier to work with in your head. They are only approximate. An exact answer can not be obtained with these numbers. Sometimes an exact answer is not required.

To round numbers to the nearest thousand, make the numbers whose last three digits are 001 through 499 into the next lower number that ends in 000. For example, 6424 rounded to the nearest thousand is 6000. Numbers that have the last three digits of 500 or more should be rounded up to the next even thousand. The number 8788 rounded to the nearest thousand is 9000.
