For the Math Quiz on Thursday, December 5th, students need to review the following:

• Rounding to the nearest 10, 100, and 1000
• Solving problems that involve rounding.

Example Problems:

• Round 428 to the nearest 10. (Answer: 430)
• Round 6,752 to the nearest 100. (Answer: 6,800)
• Round 5,139 to the nearest 1,000. (Answer: 5,000)

Problem-Solving Question:

Question:
A student needs to buy 1,472 notebooks for a school project. To make sure they have enough, they round the number to the nearest 100.

Question: How many notebooks should the student plan to buy? Will they have books left to use in the future? Yes or No?

(Note: I don’t expect students to subtract yet, so just think about whether the number of notebooks they buy is greater than the number they need.)

Solution:
Students should round 1,472 to the nearest 100. Since the tens place is 7, they round up to 1,500.
The answer is Yes, they will have books left to use in the future.
