Fascinating Fact:

Astronomers round the distance from Earth to the Sun to one hundred and fifty million kilometres, because the exact number changes every day.

In 11 Plus Maths, rounding is used to make numbers easier to work with, especially when estimating or checking calculations. Pupils learn to round to the nearest ten, hundred, or even million to simplify complex data.

Key Terms

Rounding: Adjusting a number to make it simpler while keeping its value close to the original.
Place Value: The position of a digit in a number, which determines its actual value.
Estimate: A quick calculation used to get an approximate answer without full accuracy.
