Rounding up to Thousands

This learning track gives students practice in rounding to the nearest ten, nearest hundred and nearest thousand.  Students practice with numbers with varying numbers of digits, starting with 3-digit numbers and going up to 5-digit numbers.  The sequence of the kinds of numbers students learn to round is shown above.

Each worksheet includes four examples of rounding.

We give examples on each worksheet so that students can see how to round each type of number.  Then students work with their partner, who has the answer key, to round the numbers around the outside. The student says the “answer” which is the rounded number.  The partner corrects errors by saying the number and what it rounds to aloud, (e.g., “8,621 rounds up to 9,000”) and follows the same correction procedure: Ask the student to repeat the correct information three times, then back up three problems.

1-minute Daily test requires writing only 3 numbers

The Daily Tests do not require the student to write out the complete number.  Instead, they only have to write three digits of the rounded number.  This allow students to answer more questions in the one-minute test.
