Rounding to the Nearest 10,000 & 100,000 · Easy Worksheet 1

Rounding to the Nearest 10,000 & 100,000 — Easy Worksheet 1

Grade 4 · MathSheets    Name: ____________________   Date: __________

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

How to solve

To round to the nearest ten thousand, look at the thousands digit; to round to the nearest hundred thousand, look at the ten thousands digit. If that digit is 5 or more, round up; if it is 4 or less, round down. Then make every digit after the rounding place 0. Examples: 47,310 → 50,000 (7 is 5 or more); 362,815 → 400,000 (6 is 5 or more); 324,900 → 300,000 to the nearest hundred thousand. A 9 that rounds up carries: 396,000 → 400,000 to the nearest ten thousand.
