Let’s test the poem!The rounding poem Find your number Look right next door 4 or less, just ignore 5 or more add one more!
Rounding Whole Numbers Round 474,000,000 to the closest hundred millions. 474,000,000 Find your number Look right next door Four or less, just ignore Five or more, add one more
474,000,000 Rounded to the hundred millions becomes 500,000,000 Round 474,000,000 to the closest 10 million’s 474,400,000 Just ignore – 470,000,000
What about decimal numbers The same rules (and poem) apply! Round 4.167 to the closest hundredths 4.167 Find your number Look right next door 4.17
Remember If you are asked to round to the nearest tenth…….your answer stops at the tenth place! Example: Round 42.73 to the closest tenth would be 42.7
Special Case!Rounding a 9 Round 2.197 to the closes hundredths Since there is a “9” in the hundredths place consider the tenth and hundredths together – 19 – do you leave it at 19 or move it to 20?
Round 4.95 to the closest tenth Since there is a “9” in the tenth spot consider the ones and tenths together…… should you leave it at 49 or move it to 50? 4.95 rounded to the nearest tenth is 5.0
