Rounding to Thousands 2 🔒

Twelve more whole numbers are ready for rounding to the nearest thousand, this time reaching into the hundreds of thousands.

Prompts like 9,774 or 668,553 ask you to land on the closest thousand.

Here is a fun twist: rounding a number such as 9,774 up to the nearest thousand gives a result with an extra digit, since it crosses into five figures. Gaining a digit just from rounding surprises people who expect the number of places to stay fixed. It is a good reminder to check your answer rather than assuming it will look like the starting number.

Recommended level: intermediate.
