Maths.
In Maths this week we learnt how to round to nearest 10, 100 and 1000.
We learnt that depending where the digits 1,2,3,4 are then number will round down to the nearest 10, 100 and 1,000 and that if there is a 5, 6, 7, 8,or 9 then the number will round up to the nearest 10, 100 or 1000.
For instance if the number is 154 then the closest 10 is 150 as there is a 4 in the Ones column 154.
However, if I round the same number to the closest 100 then I look at the Tens column (154). The digit is a 5 so it rounds up to the next 100 of 200.
If I round 1,356 to the closest 1,000 then I look at the Hundreds (1,356). There are 3 hundreds, so the number rounds down to 1,000.
Here is a link to a game that you could try.
