Find your place. *Since you are rounding to the nearest 1000, the first 2 is the number you will need to look at first— it's in the thousands place.

Look next door. *Look at the number to the right of your starting number. This number is 2. The 2 in the hundreds place is to the right of the 2 in the thousands place.

5 or greater, add 1 more. *2 is not greater than 5. If it was, you would change the 2 in the thousands place to a 3. Instead, just leave both numbers alone.

All digits in front, stay the same. *All numbers in front of the 2 in the thousands place, including the 2 in the thousands place, stay the same.

All digits behind, zero's your name. *All numbers behind the first 2, not including the first 2, change to a zero.
