How to use this activity
Allow about five minutes. Label a chart thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones. Place each digit before answering; rounding questions name the place to round to.

What is the value of the digit 7 in 4,726?
The seven is in the hundreds place. Seven hundreds is 700, not seven tens or seven thousands.
Which number equals 3,000 + 500 + 20 + 8?
Combine three thousands, five hundreds, two tens, and eight ones. Those place values form 3,528.
Ten tens have the same value as what?
Each ten is worth ten ones. Ten groups of ten make one hundred, so ten tens can be regrouped as one hundred.
What is 2,647 rounded to the nearest hundred?
The nearest hundreds are 2,600 and 2,700. Since 2,647 is less than the midpoint 2,650, it rounds to 2,600.
Which number is greater: 5,086 or 5,806?
The thousands digits are equal. Compare hundreds next: eight hundreds is greater than zero hundreds, so 5,806 is greater.
What is 430 × 10?
Multiplying a whole number by ten makes each digit's value ten times as large. Four hundreds become four thousands and three tens become three hundreds.
