3rd grade math · Unit 3: Place value to 10,000

Round at the right place

What this lesson shows

Fixes a mistake

923 to the nearest ten is 920, not 900.

The worked example

The lesson works this one step by step: 923 to the nearest ten. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.

The steps

  1. Read the place
  2. Between which two tens?
  3. Mark the middle
  4. Pick the closer one

Helping at home

Read the place first: the nearest ten, or the nearest hundred. Name the number in that place, 92 tens and 3 ones, and write the two round numbers it sits between. It can only round to one of those two.

If your kid gets stuck

Read the place first: ten or hundred?
