Understanding Rounding to the Nearest Ten

Rounding to the nearest ten is a way of simplifying numbers to make them easier to work with. When we round to the nearest ten, we look at the ones digit of the number.

• If the ones digit is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, we round down. This means the tens digit stays the same, and the ones digit becomes 0. For example, 44 rounds down to 40.
• If the ones digit is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, we round up. This means the tens digit increases by one, and the ones digit becomes 0. For example, 46 rounds up to 50.

For example, if you want to round 67 to the nearest ten, you look at the ones digit, which is 7. Since 7 is 5 or more, you round up to 70. If you want to round 62 to the nearest ten, you look at the ones digit, which is 2. Since 2 is 4 or less, you round down to 60.
