Step 1: Use a number line to identify benchmark hundred values and
midpoints of a 3-digit number

Step 2: Use the midpoint to determine which hundred a 3-digit

number is closest to (i.e., round 3-digit numbers to the nearest hundred)

Sarah has 177 crayons. Use a
number line to mark how many
crayons Sarah has in total, make
sure to mark the endpoints and the
midpoint as well. Rounding to the
nearest hundred, about how many
crayons does Sarah have?
