It looks like you've uploaded a
Hundreds Chart with instructions for rounding numbers. This chart is a visual tool used to help students understand how to
round numbers to the nearest ten.
Let’s break down what this chart shows and how it helps solve rounding problems.

🔍 Understanding the Hundreds Chart
This chart displays numbers from
0 to 100, arranged in rows of 10:
- Each row represents a group of tens (e.g., 0–9, 10–19, ..., 90–99).
- The
vertical red line divides the chart at the
middle of each ten — specifically between
4 and 5 in the units place.
- Numbers ending in
0–4 are on the left side → "Round Down"
- Numbers ending in
5–9 are on the right side → "Round Up"

🎯 Rounding Rules (Based on the Chart)
To round a number to the nearest
ten:
1. Look at the
ones digit (the last digit).
2. If it's
0–4,
round down (to the lower ten).
3. If it's
5–9,
round up (to the higher ten).
#### Example:
-
37: The ones digit is 7 → round up →
40
-
62: The ones digit is 2 → round down →
60
-
85: The ones digit is 5 → round up →
90

✔ How to Use This Chart
Suppose you're given a number like
47:
- Find 47 on the chart.
- It's in the
right half (after the red line), so
round up to
50.
Similarly:
-
34 → left side → round down →
30
-
75 → right side → round up →
80

💡 Summary: Rounding Rule
>
"5 or more, round up; 4 or less, round down."
This chart visually reinforces that rule by showing:
-
Left side (0–4): Round Down
-
Right side (5–9): Round Up
