Rounding By Mr. Walker

Using The Cinderella Story

Locate Cinderella 1,365,429 In any given number, Cinderella is the digit that is underlined 1,365,429 If there are no digits underlined, then the directions will tell you what place Cinderella is in Round to the ten thousands place 1,365,429

The Fairy Godmother Cinderella can’t go to the ball without some help from the Fairy Godmother The Fairy Godmother always comes in on Cinderella’s right 1,365,429 She is a little round, so circle the Fairy Godmother

Does She Have the Power? Ahh man! To get Cinderella to the ball, the Fairy Godmother needs to do a bit of magic, but it all depends on the power in her wand If the power in her wand is 5 or more, then she has enough power to change Cinderella 9 If her wand is 4 or less then Cinderella is out of luck and will stay the same scrubbing the floors 5 Ahh man!

Does She Have the Power? 1,365,429 If we look at our number, the Fairy Godmother has a 5, so she does have enough power to change Cinderella 1,375,429 1,365,429 When the Fairy Godmother uses her power to dress up Cinderella Cinderella’s number goes up by one

Bye Fairy Godmother POOF 1,370,429 1,375,429 1,370,000 The Fairy Godmother’s job is done and her power is all gone, so she disappears (the 5 changes to a 0) The rest of the numbers after the Fairy Godmother get changed to zeros as well

The Sisters 1,370,000 After changing and rounding, don’t forget that the evil step sisters (the numbers in front of Cinderella) always follow her around to make fun of her They go to the ball with her if she gets changed and they stay at home mocking her if she does not get changed (always put those numbers back on the front when you are done)

Not Enough Power POOF Lets try a number where the Fairy Godmother does not have enough power to change Cinderella 1,360,429 1,360,000 1,363,429 If we look at our number, the Fairy Godmother has a 3, so she does not have enough power to change Cinderella The Fairy Godmother tried her best but could not do it, and now what little power she had is gone, so she disappears (the 3 changes to a 0) The rest of the numbers after the Fairy Godmother get changed to zeros as well

The Sisters 1,360,000 After changing and rounding, don’t forget that the evil step sisters (the numbers in front of Cinderella) always follow her around to make fun of her They go to the ball with her if she gets changed and they stay at home mocking her if she does not get changed (always put those numbers back on the front when you are done)
