Round Rules

Rounding Rules

1.  Circle the place value you are rounding the number to.

2.  Look to the right, and see what the number is:

*If the number is a 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4:  Forget the rest

*If the number is a 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9:  Round up to the next number

Examples:

Round to the nearest ten:

·      43 rounds to 40 (the three in the ones places tells me to forget the rest)

·      46 rounds to 50 (the 6 in the ones places tells me to round up to the next ten)
