00:0-1 in this video , we are going to teach you
00:03 a really cool trick . No , it has nothing
00:05 to do with yo yo's , although you can learn
00:09 a lot of tricks with the yo yo . So
00:11 what is this number trick ? It's something cool called
00:15 Rounding numbers . Rounding numbers . Mhm . Let's say
00:21 Frankie Loves playing tennis , he loves playing tennis so
00:25 much , he has a huge collection of tennis balls
00:30 . In fact , Frankie owns 39 tennis balls .
00:34 His friends know he collects tennis balls . So one
00:37 of his friends asked him about how many tennis balls
00:41 do you have ? His friend isn't asking for the
00:46 exact amount his friend is asking about how many tennis
00:49 balls do you have ? His friend could have also
00:53 asked this way , roughly how many tennis balls do
00:57 you have , Frankie knows that 39 is just one
01:02 less than 40 as you can see from this number
01:05 line . So he answers , I have about 40
01:08 tennis balls that's rounding . Rounding . Makes a number
01:13 more simple when knowing the exact number isn't important .
01:18 That's pretty awesome . Rounding makes a number more simple
01:21 when knowing the exact number isn't important . In our
01:27 example , Frankie rounded the number 39 up to the
01:30 number 40 . His friend didn't want to know the
01:33 exact number of tennis balls . His friend asked for
01:38 an estimate Frankie has about 40 tennis balls . Rounding
01:44 is especially common with bigger numbers . For example ,
01:48 did you know about six million people visit the famous
01:51 coliseum in Rome each year ? Do exactly six million
01:56 people visit the coliseum each year ? No , that's
01:59 why we said about six million the exact number was
02:03 rounded so that the number we shared would be simple
02:07 and easy to remember . That's what Rounding does .
02:12 Rounding makes a number more simple when knowing the exact
02:16 number isn't important . Mhm . It's used when we
02:21 say words like about or roughly we might say there
02:25 are about this many or there are roughly this many
02:31 . Okay , now that we know what rounding is
02:34 and what it does , we need to learn how
02:37 to round numbers . Let's pick a random number 46
02:42 . Before we do any rounding we need to review
02:45 our place values . Do you remember place values ?
02:49 It's important to know our place values so we can
02:52 know exactly how to round the number . What digit
02:56 is in the one spot ? Yes the number six
03:01 . This first spot is always the ones spot .
03:05 What digit is in the tens spot . Uh huh
03:10 . The number four . The second spot is always
03:14 the tens spot . Great job . Now that we
03:19 know the place values , let's round 46 to the
03:22 nearest 10 . You will always have two options to
03:26 round up or to round down . In this example
03:30 we will either round up to 50 or will round
03:34 down to 40 . But which one do we need
03:37 to do To find out ? We need to look
03:41 at the digit before the spot . We are rounding
03:43 to the digit before the four is six . If
03:47 you are rounding to the nearest 10 , you always
03:50 look at the one spot . Okay , Here is
03:54 where we do the trick . If the spot before
03:57 is five or more round up , let's say that
04:00 again . If the spot before is five or more
04:03 round up . All right . So the digit in
04:07 the one spot is the # six . Are we
04:10 going to round up or down ? Yes . Up
04:15 . So this number will go up to 50 .
04:18 That is the nearest 10 . We did it .
04:20 We rounded a number 46 , gets rounded up to
04:25 50 . You did an awesome job . Let's do
04:28 another one . Okay , how about the number 23
04:33 . What digit is in the one spot ? Yes
04:36 , the number three . This first spot is always
04:40 the one spot . What digit is in the 10
04:42 spot ? Yes , the number two . The second
04:46 spot is always the 10 spot . Now that we
04:50 know the place values . Let's round 23 to the
04:54 nearest 10 . Remember you will always have two options
04:58 to round up or to round down . In this
05:02 example we will either round up to 30 or will
05:05 round down to 20 . Next we need to look
05:10 at the digit before the spot . We are rounding
05:12 to the digit before the two is three , if
05:16 you are rounding to the nearest 10 , you always
05:19 look at the one spot . Okay , here is
05:22 where we do the trick if the spot before is
05:25 five or more round up , that's fun to say
05:28 , let's say it one more time . If the
05:29 spot before is five or more round up . All
05:33 right , so the ditch it in the one spot
05:35 is the number three . Are we going to round
05:38 up or down ? Yes , down . So this
05:43 number will go down to 20 . That is the
05:47 nearest 10 . That's how you round numbers 23 gets
05:52 rounded down to 20 . Great job . Let's use
05:57 the trick on an even bigger number because it always
06:00 works no matter how big the number is . Okay
06:05 , how about the number 544 . What digit is
06:10 in the tens spot ? Yes , the number four
06:14 . Remember the second spot is always the 10 spot
06:18 . What digit is in the hundreds spot ? Yeah
06:22 . Yes , the number five the third spot is
06:25 always the hundreds spot . Mhm . Now that we
06:29 know the place values , let's round 544 to the
06:33 nearest 100 . You will always have two options to
06:37 round up or to round down . In this example
06:40 we will either round up to 600 or will round
06:44 down to 500 , but which one do we need
06:47 to do ? Well , we need to look at
06:51 the digit before the spot , we are rounding to
06:54 the digit before the five is four . If you
06:58 are rounding to the nearest 100 you always look at
07:01 the 10 spot . Are you ready for the trick
07:05 ? You know it ? Now , if the spot
07:07 before is five or more round up , that's fun
07:10 to say let's say it again together , if the
07:12 spot before is five or more round up . Cool
07:16 . Okay , so the digit in the 10 spot
07:20 is the number four , are we going to round
07:23 up or down ? Yes , down . So this
07:28 number will go down to 500 , that is the
07:32 nearest 100 that's how you round numbers 544 gets rounded
07:39 down to 500 . Now , you know the trick
07:44 to round any number if the spot before is five
07:48 or more round up one more time . If the
07:51 spot before is five or more round up . Great
07:54 job . You did awesome special . Thanks to our
07:59 patrons who make videos like this possible . If you

08:12 are awesome . We hope to see you next video
08:17 . Hey , I wonder if this man is thinking
08:19 about rounding numbers , thinking , hey , I could
08:22 be rounding numbers right now , I know the trick
08:25 and I'm just sitting here . Yeah , I'm gonna
08:29 go round some numbers . Yeah , I'm going to
08:31 go .
