Round Any Whole Number to a Required Degree of Accuracy 4 - Reasoning
Maths Resource Description
In this exercise, students are tasked with rounding whole numbers to different degrees of accuracy, specifically to the nearest hundred, thousand, and ten thousand. The activity involves reasoning skills as students must identify the missing rounded figures in a given sequence. For example, when looking at the number 2,387,336, students must determine the correct rounded numbers to the nearest hundred, thousand, and ten thousand. The provided sequence shows 2,387,336 rounded to 2,387,000 for the nearest thousand, leaving students to fill in the gaps for the other degrees of accuracy.
The numbers 4,699,889 and 9,005,785 follow a similar pattern, where students are given the rounded figures for two of the three required accuracies and must deduce the missing number. For 4,699,889, the sequence includes 4,699,900 for the nearest hundred and 4,700,000 for both the nearest thousand and ten thousand. Similarly, 9,005,785 is shown rounded to 9,005,800 for the nearest hundred, with 9,006,000 as the rounded figure for both the nearest thousand and ten thousand. The task encourages students to apply their understanding of place value and rounding rules to find the missing rounded numbers for each given whole number.
