Here's a great math rhyme to help remember the steps for rounding numbers:

Underline the number

then look right next door,

If it's five or higher then you add one more,

If it's four or lower then you just ignore.

Ex:round 1 496.2 to the nearest hundred  = 1500 (because when you look to the right of the underlined number you see a 9 so you add one more to the underlined digit)
