Step 1
Say aloud the place value of a number. Start with a smaller number.
Prepare a set of number cards.
eg.
25
• Guide pupils to say out the number.
(twenty-five)
• What is the place value of 5? What is the digit value of 5?
( Ones / units. The digit value of 5 is five ones / units.)
• What is the place value of 2? What is the digit value?
( Tens. The digit value of 2 is twenty.)
8 740
• Guide pupils to say out the number.
(eight thousand seven hundred and forty)
• What is the place value of 0? What is the digit value of 0?
( Ones / units . The digit value of 0 is zero ones / units.)
• What is the place value of 4? What is the digit value?
( Tens. The digit value of 4 is forty.)
8 7 4 0
Then, ask
2 6 3 0 7 9
9 ones
7 tens
0 hundreds
3 thousands
6 ten thousands
2 hundred thousands
Eg.
7 3

142 672 is nearer to 142 670 than 142 680, so it is rounded off to 142 670.
142 675 is nearer to 142 680 than 142 670, so it is rounded off to 142 680.
142 677 is nearer to 142 680 than 142 670, so it is rounded off to 142 680.

• 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 - add by 1.
Example 1:
+1
Circle the tens 725 2 4 6
• Since the digit to the right of (behind) the circle is larger than 5, then
add 1 to the digit 4 and a zero after it. The answer will then be 725 250.
Example 2:
0 0
Circle the hundreds 418 3 2 7
• Since the digit to the right of (behind) the circle is less than 5, the 3
remains but add 2 zeroes after it. The answer will then be 418 300.
14
000
Circle the thousands 61 2 4 3 5
• Since the digit to the right of (behind) the circle is less than 5 then, the
2 remains and replace 3 zeroes subsequently. The answer will then be
612 000.
Example 4:
Round off 579 849 to the nearest ten thousands (10 000).
+1 0 0 00
Circle the ten thousands 5 9 7 849
• Since the digit to the right of (behind) the circle is more than 5 then, add
1 to the digit 9 and replace 4 zeroes subsequently. The answer will then
be 600 000.
Example 5:
Round off 248 905 to the nearest hundred thousands (100 000).
00 000
Circle the hundred thousands 2 4 8 905
• Since the digit to the right of (behind) the circle is less than 5 then, the
2 remains and replace 5 zeroes subsequently. The answer will then be
200 000.
