This Grade 4 worksheet helps students round 5-digit numbers to the nearest ten thousand. Learners examine the thousands digit, decide whether to round up or down, and apply this skill across sentence corrections, fill-in-the-blank items, and short-answer questions about real numbers like populations and stadium crowds. The sheet builds confidence with place value before students tackle multi-place rounding tasks. Grade 4 students master rounding.

Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. Round 48,237 to the nearest ten thousand. Explain your reasoning.
48,237 rounds to 50,000. The thousands digit is 8, which is 5 or greater, so I round up to the next ten thousand.
2. A stadium holds 27,500 fans. About how many is that, rounded to the nearest ten thousand?
It is about 30,000 fans. The thousands digit is 7, which is greater than 5, so 27,500 rounds up to 30,000.
