answering the tasks in this module, do not hesitate to consult your
teacher or facilitator.
Thank you.
 What I Need to Know

Good day learner! You have learned from the previous module
how to compare and order numbers up to hundred thousand. This
module is about rounding numbers. Rounding numbers is helpful
in estimating distance for travel, time needed in doing tasks, things
in large amounts, and also in budgeting money. I know you will
enjoy this module.

After going through this module, you are expected to round

numbers to the nearest thousands and ten thousands.

What I Know

 What’s New

Do you help your parents? In what way do you help them?

Read the problem.

During weekends, Jayson

helps his family in their
Balloons and Party Needs Store.
He counts and checks the
inflated balloons based on the
order of the customer before the
delivery. At the end of the week,
the store delivered 15 678
balloons. About how many
thousand balloons were
delivered?

Answer the given problem.

What is It

Let us see if we have the same answer. You can answer the
question by rounding 15 678 to the nearest thousands.

What do we mean by rounding?

Rounding is the process of finding the nearest value to

a certain number.

4
CO_Q1_Mathematics4_Module4
Let us study the number line below.

15 678

15 000 15 100 15 200 15 300 15 400 15 500 15 600 15 700 15 800 15 900 16 000

To which number is 15 678 closer, 15 000 or 16 000?

Since 15 678 is closer to 16 000, we can say that 15 678

becomes 16 000 when rounded to the nearest thousands. Hence,
about 16 000 balloons were delivered at the end of the week.

We can also round off numbers using the following steps:

1. Identify the digit in the rounding place.

This is called the rounding digit. 15 678

2. Identify the digit to the right of the rounding place. 15 678

2.1 If the digit to the right of the rounding place is less than
5 (0, 1, 2, 3 or 4), round the number down by leaving
the rounding digit the same. Then, change all digits to
the right of the rounding digit to zero.

2.2 If the digit to the right of the rounding place is 5 or

greater than 5 (6, 7, 8 or 9), round the number up by
adding one to the rounding digit. Then, change all digits
to the right of the rounding digit to zero.

15 678

CO_Q1_Mathematics4_Module4
Let us go over again,
✓ The underlined digit 5 is the digit at the rounding place.
✓ 6 is the digit at the right of the rounding place.
✓ Since 6 belongs to 5-9 group of numbers (5 or greater than
5), add one to the digit at the rounding place (add 1 to 5).
✓ Then change all the digit at the right of the rounding place
value to zero.

6 000
15 678 16 000

✓ Therefore, 16 678 when rounded to the nearest thousands is

16 000.

Answer: About 16 000 balloons were delivered at the end of

the week.

Let’s study these examples.

Now, you already learned how to round numbers

to the nearest thousands and ten thousands.

What I Have Learned

How do you round numbers to the nearest thousands and

ten thousands?

To round numbers to the nearest thousands and ten

thousands:
1. Identify the rounding place and the digit to the right of
the rounding place.
2. If the digit at the right of the rounding place is from 0-
4, round down the digit at the rounding place or it will
remain the same.
3. If the digit at the right of the rounding place is from 5-
9, round up the digit at the rounding place or add 1 to
the digit of the rounding place.
