  • I must know how to use the place value
  • A number that is less than five I must round down and if a number is bigger than five I must round up.


Round the number above to the………..


  • Nearest thousands
  • Nearest tenths
  • Nearest ten thousands
  • Nearest hundredths
  • Nearest tens
  • Nearest whole number
  • Nearest hundreds


  1. Nearest thousands


4,897,542. 854 is between 4,897000 and 4,898000
Because 5 is equal to 5 then I must round up to 4,898000


2. Nearest tenths


4,897,542. 854 is between 4,897,542. 800 and 4,897,542.900
Because 5 is equal to 5 i must round up to 4,897,542.900

4,897,542. 854 is between 4,890000 and 4,90.000
Because 7 is bigger than 5 I must round up to 4,90.0000


4. Nearest hundredths
4,897,542. 854 is between 4,897,542. 8540 and 4,897,542. 850
Because 2 is less than 5 I should round down to  4,897,542. 8540


5. Nearest tens - 4,897,542.854
I have to find the nearest tens place which is 4 I replace 2 as a 0
because I am rounding to the nearest ten
I have to choose whether I round up or down, since 2 is less than 5
I would be rounding down, the answer is 4,897,540.


6. Nearest whole number - 4,897,542.854 is between 4,897,543, & 4,897,544
because I am rounding to the nearest whole number
I must choose to round up or down,
since 8 which is the number after the decimal point is greater than 5
I must round up, the answer is 4,897,543.


7. Nearest hundreds - 4,897,542.854
I have to search for the hundreds place which is 5
I replace 4 & 2 as a 0, since I am rounding to the nearest hundred
I have to choose whether I round up or down, since 4 is less than 5
I would be round up, the answer is 4,897,500.

Rounding numbers to the nearest whole/tens

Rangi WALT - round numbers to the nearest whole number 17/09/18


  1. 2469. 491 = 2469.491 is between 2468 and 2470. Since I’m rounding up to the nearest whole numbers I look at the number in the tenths place to decide whether to round up or down. Because 4 is less than 5 I round up.
  2. 41,806.608 = 41,806.608 is between 41806 and 41807. Since i’m rounding up to the nearest whole numbers. I look at the numbers in the tenths place whether I need to round up or down. Because 6 is bigger the five I round up.  
  3. 219,411.099 = 219,411.099 is between 219,411 and 219,412. Since I need to round up to the nearest whole numbers I need to look at the numbers in the tenths place whether I need to round up or down. Because zero is less than 5 I round up.
  4. 658,414.584 = 658,414.584 is between 658,414 and 658,415 Since I’m rounding up to the nearest whole numbers I need to look at the numbers in the tenths place neither I need to round up or down. Because 6 is less than 5 I must round

========================================================================

WALT - round numbers to the nearest tens.

  1. 2469.491 = 2469.491 is between 2460 and 2470. Since i’m rounding up to the nearest tens I would need to look in the ones place. Because 9 is bigger than 5 I will need to round up to 2470.
  2. 41,806.608 = 41,806.608 is between 41,810 and 41,820, Since i’m rounding up to the nearest tens I must look in the ones place. Because 6 is bigger than 5 I must round up to 41,820.
  3. 219,411.099 = 219,411.099 is between 219,410 and 219,420. As I need to round up to the nearest tens I need to look in the ones place. Because 1 is less than 5 I must round down to 219,410.
  4. 658,414.584 = 658,414.584 is between 658,410 and 658,420. Since i’m rounding up to the nearest tens I must look in the ones place. Because 4 is less than 5 I need to round down to 658,410.

The Ghostly Shadow

Rangi The Ghostly Shadow 19/09/18




One early night Ella was walking down to the park, once she was walking
she saw someone strangely, but once she looked again it was gone.
So she started running off home, but once she was nearly home she saw it again. Then…….
One second she saw it, the next she didn’t.
She wanted to turn around and leave this strange place, but curiosity got just better for her. .
The fog seemed to be alive.
It danced amongst the trees, smothered,  slithered, sneaked, in and out of the branches.
The trees lining the road, sentinels of the night, seemed to sway in the breeze,
their branches reaching up like tentacles clawing for the sky, yearning to escape the cloying fog.
Next day she saw it, then next she didn’t.
The ghostly shadow vanished once again into the mist.
She had come too far to turn back now.
Goosebumps prickled on her cold, clammy skin, and
she was sure she could hear her heart thumping inside her chest like a fluttering
bird begging to be let out of its cage. Pulling her  scarf tightly around herself,
she stepped forward into the woods, towards the place where the shadow had been.
Then she started to scream for HELP then once in a while there was someone to come for her.
Then………. To Be Continued……..
