Geez, Mr. Smith has so many savings accounts! Can you help him estimate how much money he has by rounding each amount to the nearest thousand? Thanks a bunch!
Want to add, subtract, and estimate numbers quickly? Rounding is the way to go! In this activity, you'll round each number to the nearest thousand and then add them up to get the total. If a number ends in 499 or less, round it down. For example, 1,499 becomes 1,000. If it ends in 500 or more, round it up. For example, 1,500 becomes 2,000. Ready to give it a try? Grab your pencil, and let's figure out how much money Mr. Smith has saved!
