Rounding
Numbers
Find your place
Look next door
Five or greater,
Add one more!
The digits in front
Stay the same
The digits behind,
Zero's the name.
The rhyme above will help students to round
numbers. For example, to round 395 to the nearest hundred, students
should find the hundreds place value, look next door to the right, five
or greater, add one more.
The digits in front of the hundreds place
value stay the same while the digits to the right become zeros.
Look at the example below.

3 |
9 |
5 |
| Find your
place |
Look next

|
| |
|
|
|
3 + 1 |
|
|
Five or
greater,
Add one more! |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
4 |
0 |
0 |
The
digits in front
Stay the same |
The
digits behind,
Zero's the name. |

So 395 rounded to the hundreds place
value will equal 400.
