Expanded Form of Whole Numbers
 |
Determine the multiples
of 10 that can be added together to get the number you started with. |
 |
Write them as an addition
problem. |
|
1463 = 1000 + 400 +
60 + 3
64201 = 60000 + 4000 +200 + 1
|
| |
Rounding Whole Numbers:
 |
Identify what
increments are to be used (count by 10s, 100s, 1000s, ....) |
 |
Surround the
original number by counting using the increment (10, 100, 1000, etc.) |
 |
Figure out which
of the incremental numbers is closest to your original number and
choose that number as the answer. |
 |
If the original
number is half way between two numbers, chose the larger number as the
number that is closest. |
|
-
Rounding 749 to the nearest 10s.
- - Think of 740, 750, 780
- - 749 is between
- 740 and 750.
- - 749 is closest
- to 750.
- - The answer is 750.
-
Rounding 45 to the nearest 10s.
- - Think of 30, 40, 50.
- - 45 is half way
- between 40 and 50.
- - Assume 45 is closest
- to 50.
- - The answer is 50.

Comparing
Whole Numbers
Using a comparison symbol with
whole numbers:
 |
When writing the symbol, always
point to the smaller number, wherever it is ....
|
 |
When reading the symbol, always
say whether the first number is greater or less than the second.
