What children learn in Level 9
- Rounding gives a number that's close and easy to use. Where is 4,682 on the number line?
- 4,682 is between 4,000 and 5,000. It's past the halfway point, 4,500, so it's closer to 5,000. 4,682 rounds to 5,000.
- Bigger numbers work the same way. 352,317 is between 352,000 and 353,000, and closer to 352,000.
- When a number is exactly halfway, we round up. 27,500 rounds to 28,000.
Georgia's K-12 Mathematics Standards:
