Rounding Numbers to Nearest Million
In this post we will explore rounding to nearest million. We will start with mid-point strategy but there is another faster method to round numbers to any level. This strategy is explained below:
- Underline the desired digit (which needed to be rounded)
- Look at the digit right to the underline digit and see if this digit is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 then keep the underlined digit and change all the digits to its right to ZEROS. This is called rounding down.
- If the digit right to the underline digit is 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 then add "1" to the underline digit and again change all the digits to its right to ZERO. This is called rounding up.
Below are the activity sheets explaining the concept of rounding. If you want to print them just right click and open them in the new window and these are perfect 8 x 11.5 regular paper sheets.
