Math Detectives: Rounding to the Thousands place

We worked in teams to round numbers to the thousands place. First we labeled each digit with the correct place value (thousands, hundreds, tens, ones). Next we determined our benchmarks. Then we looked for our clue (hundreds place, which is to the right of the thousands place). Once we found our clue, we were able to figure out whether we should round up or down to the correct benchmark.

 I will place the Scholastic Book order tomorrow after school.
