Large numbers and rounding — Maths worksheet

Five-digit numbers go up to 99,999. From the left the places are ten thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens and ones, so in 47,386 the 7 is worth 7000. To round to the nearest 100, look at the tens digit: 5 or more rounds up, less than 5 rounds down. 47,386 → 47,400.

The method

Look one place to the right — “to round, look at the digit just after the place you round to: 5 or more rounds up”

  1. Places from the left: ten thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens, ones.
  2. Compare numbers from the left until a digit is different.
  3. Round to 10: look at the ones digit. Round to 100: look at the tens digit. 5 or more → up.
  4. Greatest number from digits: biggest digit first. Smallest: smallest digit first.

Use it for: Reading populations and distances, estimating totals, and the large numbers chapter of Class 4 maths.

Worked example: Round 47,386 to the nearest 100. → 47400

  1. It lies between 47300 and 47400. The tens digit is 8 — 5 or more, so round up.
  2. Rounded: 47400.

Check: 47,386 is 86 away from 47,300 but only 14 away from 47,400 ✓
