Rounding to Thousands 1 🔒

This quiz moves up to the nearest thousand, asking you to round 12 whole numbers to the closest multiple of a thousand.

You might round 3,450 or 48,750, judging whether the thousands digit stays put or rises.

The hundreds digit is the one doing the deciding, while the tens and ones come along for the ride. That can feel odd, since a number like 3,450 rounds down even though it looks close to halfway, so leaning on the hundreds digit is the safe habit.

Recommended level: intermediate.
