TheSchoolRun.com closure date
As we informed you a few months ago, TheSchoolRun has had to make the difficult decision to close due to financial pressures and the company has now ceased trading. We had hoped to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.
As a result, we now have to permanently close TheSchoolRun.com. However, to give subscribers time to download any content they’d like to keep, we will keep the website open until 31st July 2025. After this date, the site will be taken down and there will be no further access to any resources. We strongly encourage you to download and save any resources you think you may want to use in the future.
In particular, we suggest downloading:
- Learning packs
- All the worksheets from the 11+ programme, if you are following this with your child
- Complete Learning Journey programmes (the packs below include all 40 worksheets for each programme)
You should already have received 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep. If you haven’t received these, please contact us at [email protected] before 31st July 2025, and we will send them to you.
We are very sorry that there is no way to continue offering access to resources and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Rounding numbers practice
Can they round up these numbers to the nearest 10, 100, 1000, 10,000, 100,000 or 1,000,000?
How do you round numbers?
Rounding numbers involves adjusting digits to make quick estimates rather than exact calculations. It simplifies complex data, making it easier to work with mentally. While rounding may not give an exact answer, it's useful in everyday tasks like budgeting and decision-making. It helps us make informed judgments swiftly and efficiently.
If you want to round to the nearest 10, for example, you will need to:
- Identify the digit to the right of the tens place:
Look at the digit in the ones place (the digit to the immediate right of the tens place).
- Decide whether to round up or down:
If the digit in the ones place is 5 or greater, round up.
If the digit in the ones place is less than 5, round down.
- Adjust the tens place:
Change the digit in the tens place according to the rounding decision.
If you rounded up, increase the digit in the tens place by 1.
If you rounded down, keep the digit in the tens place the same.
- Set all digits to the right of the tens place to zero:
After rounding, set all digits to the right of the tens place to zero.
Example: 34 to the nearest 10 = 30. There is a 4 in the ones place, so you round down to 30.
