​Remember the steps of rounding?

​1. Find out what you're rounding to (nearest 10? 10 000?)

​Eg. Round 67 203 to the nearest thousand

​I am going to highlight or underline the thousands place, because then I know which place value digit I'm working with.

​

​2. Identify your benchmark numbers (number line)

​Eg. 67 203 is between

​

​67 000 -------------------------- 68 000

​​3. Do I round up or down?

​Eg. 67 203 is closer to 67 000, so I round down.
