    You can round large numbers to any place.
    Use a number line to round 384,264 to the nearest ten thousand.
    halfway point
    384,264

    380,000 385,000 390,000

    384,264 is between 380,000 and 390,000.


    385,000 is halfway between 380,000 and 390,000.
    384,264 is closer to 380,000.
    384,264 rounded to the nearest ten thousand is 380,000.

    1. Round the following numbers to the nearest hundred thousand,


    ten thousand, and thousand.

    2. A company is mailing out 16,743 letters. Envelopes are sold in
    boxes of one thousand. How many envelopes will the company
    purchase in order to have enough for all of the letters? Explain.
    17,000 envelopes; Sample answer: 16,743 rounded

    to the nearest thousand is 17,000. The company will
    need to order 17,000 envelopes to have enough for
    all of the letters.
    3. A food bank collects 324,887 items in one year. The food bank
    expects to collect about the same number of items during the next
    year. About how many items can the food bank plan to collect in
    the 2 years? Explain how you chose your estimate.
    Sample answer: In two years, the food bank can plan on
    collecting about 650,000 items. I rounded 324,887 to
    325,000 because it is closer than either 300,000 or
    400,000 and will give a more accurate estimate. Then, I
    doubled 325,000 to find an estimated total for two years.
    4. A school district gives each student an agenda book at the
    beginning of the school year. There are 163,641 students currently
    enrolled in the district. Estimate the number of agenda books the
    district should buy in order to account for any new students that
    arrive throughout the year. Explain your estimate.
    Sample answer: The school district should buy
    164,000 agenda books. Rounding the number of
    students to the nearest hundred thousand or ten
    thousand will likely result in an excess number of
    agenda books left over. Rounding to the nearest

    thousand will ensure that there are enough agenda


    books for current and future students.

    Math
    Identify large numbers in magazines or online articles. Ask your child to
    round each number to the nearest hundred thousand, ten thousand, and
    @ Home thousand. Then ask him or her to identify which estimate would be the most
    acceptable in each situation.
