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

What hundred would be next?
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?

What about a number like 250?
It’s right in the middle!
100
150

Our rule is to round to the next
hundred.

200
350

400
Tell a number that would
round to 100.

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
