Children should explain that if the 10s digit is 9 and the
1s digit is 5 or above, then the 100s digit could change
too. In extreme examples such as 9,996, then rounding to
the nearest 10 results in 10,000 so all the digits change.

Children should refer to the relevant digits for each
rounding, explaining that 5 or above rounds up, 4 and
below rounds down.
To round to the nearest 10, look at the 1s digit (9).
So 3,539 rounds up to 3,540.
To round to the nearest 100, look at the 10s digit (3).
So 3,539 rounds down to 3,500.
To round to the nearest 1,000, look at the 100s digit (5).
So 3,539 rounds up to 4,000.

1. When rounding to the nearest 1,000, you need to
focus on the 100s column.
2. When rounding to the nearest thousand, the 1,000s
column either stays the same or goes up or down
by 1. All other digits after the 1,000s are replaced
by zeros. For example, 6,435 rounded to the nearest
1,000 is 6,000.

This game can produce a wide variety of answers,
depending on the roll of the dice. Some children may
need their answers checking in order to score points.
