Rounding Off Numbers to the Nearest Thousands

RULE IN ROUNDING NUMBERS

We round a number up if the digit we are rounding is followed by 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9.
We round a number down if the digit we are rounding is followed by 4, 3, 2, 1, or 0.

To round numbers to the nearest thousands, follow the following steps:

Step 1:
           Label each digit with the correct place value.
Step 2:
           Identify the digit to be rounded off.
Step 3:
           Identify the digit found at the right side of the digit to be rounded off.
Step 4:
  Change all the digits to the right of the number you are rounding into zero (0).
Step 5:
  Copy the digit/digits at the left side of the digit you are rounding.
