Rounding to the Nearest 1,000 · Easy Worksheet 2

Rounding to the Nearest 1,000 — Easy Worksheet 2

Grade 4 · MathSheets    Name: ____________________   Date: __________

Round each number to the place named. The same kind of rounding comes in different shapes.

How to solve

Look at the hundreds digit. If it is 5 or more, round up: the thousands digit goes up by 1 and every digit after it becomes 0 (4,612 → 5,000). If it is 4 or less, round down: keep the thousands digit and make the digits after it 0 (23,481 → 23,000). When the thousands digit is a 9 and you round up, it carries: 29,640 → 30,000 and 99,712 → 100,000.
