Begin by rolling the dice and making four different four-digit numbers. Then round each of them to the nearest multiple of 1000. Remember that sometimes you round up and sometimes you round down.

You could record your results in a table like this one:

Numbers rolled 1st four-digit number Rounds to 2nd four-digit number Rounds to 3rd four-digit number Rounds to 4th four-digit number Rounds to
1, 2, 3 and 4 1324 1000 2314 2000 4312 4000 4123 4000
