Rounding numbers to the nearest 10,100 & 1000

In maths we began to explore rounding numbers and what this means. How do we know when to round up or down? What digits can give us a clue? We used a number line with the digits 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and colour co-ordinate them so we knew when to round up to the nearest 10 or down.

We then explored if we could apply this same rule to 100's and 1000's. What do you think we discovered? When should we round up or down?
