Introduction

Rounding off numbers is an important skill. This skill allows you to

estimate numbers and make them easier to understand. Rounding
numbers makes them simpler and easier to use. Although they're slightly
less accurate, their values are still relatively close to what they originally
were. People round numbers in many different situations, including many
real-world situations you'll find yourself in on a regular basis.

What I need to know

Identify the place value of the number

Round off numbers to the nearest thousand and ten thousand
Practice accuracy in rounding off numbers
Display environmental sustainability in doing the task

What I Know

Now, let us try if you know how to round off numbers to the nearest
thousand and ten thousand place. If you got perfect on this, you may not

 answer all the exercises, but if you got one (1) or more wrong answers,
then you will continue answering up to the last part. Okay?

Round off the following numbers as indicated.

What’s In

Before we will go to the main lesson, let as a have a simple recall of

what you have learn in the previous module.

Can you recall how to determine the place value of numbers?

Let us try!!

I. Give the place value of the underlined digit. Write your answer on the
space provided.
1. 12 345 ___________________________
2. 267 489 ___________________________
3. 5 467 823 ___________________________
4. 74 897 269 ___________________________
5. 6 389 468 ___________________________
II. Identify the place value of the number 7 in each number and
write your answer on the space provided.
1. 147 645 ___________________________
2. 245 756 ___________________________

 What’s New
Let us take a look at the two pictures below.

A. B.

How many marbles do you think are there in Picture A? How about in
Picture B?

Can you ESTIMATE the number of marbles in each picture?

Do you have any idea about how to round off numbers?

To round off numbers, simply follow the following rules.

1. Find first the number to be rounded off.

2. If the number you are rounding is followed by 5, 6, 7,

8, or 9, round the number up and replace the digits to
the right with zero.
Example: 3821 rounded to the nearest thousand is 4000…

3. If the number you are rounding is followed by 0, 1, 2, 3, or

4, round the number down and replace the digit to the right
with zero.
Example: 331789 rounded to the nearest ten thousand is
330000.

ROUNDING OFF NUMBERS is the same as estimating where you can

make educated approximations and can be used in everyday life for
tasks related to money, time or distance.

 Let us try another example.
Suppose you will round off 246873 to the nearest thousand.

246873 = 247000 (since the digit to the left of 6 (thousand place is

8, so we round up)

1982134 when rounded to ten thousand place is equal to 1980000.

Why?

What Is It

What are the steps to follow in rounding off numbers?

Is it important to know the place value of each digit?
What will you do if the number to the right of the number to be
rounded off is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4?
How about if the number to the right of the number to be rounded
off is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9?
What will you replace to the digits to the right of the number to be
rounded off after rounding up or rounding down?

Mini-Lesson

So let us recall how to round off numbers.

 First, find the number to be rounded off.

 Then, look at the number to the right of that number,

If the number is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, ROUND THE NUMBER DOWN
and replace ALL the numbers to the right by 0.
For example, if 23 456 is rounded off to the nearest
Thousand, the number to be rounded off is 3 and the number to
the right of 3 is 4. So, ROUND THE NUMBER DOWN. And the
answer would be 23 000.

 If the number is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, ROUND THE NUMBER UP

and replace ALL the numbers to the right by 0.

For example, if 456 238 is rounded to the nearest Ten
Thousand, the number to be rounded off is 5 and the number
to the right of 5 is 6. So, ROUND THE NUMBER UP. And
the answer would be 460000.
