When a number is halfway, round up.

 Use

place value
to determine rounding.
STEP 1:
Find the digit in the
place we want to
round to.

376
STEP 2:
Look at the digit in
the next lower place
value.

376
STEP 3:
If the digit is 0 - 4, we round down.
If the digit is 5 - 9, we round up.

1 Find the digit in the place we want to round to.

2 Look at the digit in the next lower place value.

If the digit is 0 - 4, we round down.

3 If the digit is 5 - 9, we round up.
