Place value - Rounding to 1,000,000 - Worksheet

In this comprehensive lesson focused on rounding numbers up to one million, students will learn to round to the nearest ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, and hundred thousand. The National Curriculum objective for this lesson is to equip children with the ability to round any number up to 1,000,000 to these specified places. To facilitate this learning, differentiated worksheets and teaching slides are provided as resources. Key vocabulary such as "round up," "round down," "ones," "tens," "hundreds," "thousand," "ten thousand," and "hundred thousand" are introduced to help students grasp the concept of place value and the process of rounding. Students will practice with six-digit numbers, applying their understanding to real-world scenarios that require practical rounding, such as determining the number of boxes needed to pack items or the number of batches of tickets required for an event.

For a more in-depth understanding, students will engage in fluency and precision exercises, where they will round numbers to the nearest ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, and hundred thousand, and also tackle two rounding word problems. Additionally, they will be encouraged to create their own rounding word problems that challenge conventional rounding rules. The lesson also includes reasoning and problem-solving activities, where students solve questions about numbers rounded up or down to the nearest ten, hundred, or thousand, sometimes with clues and sometimes without. This approach helps students to understand the significance of rounding in different contexts and the impact it can have on real-life situations, such as event planning and logistics.
