Hello Boys and Girls! 

My name is Mesopatamia but you call me Meso.

When a number is made, I help them decide on which path to take.

There are two paths a number can take when they are created. 

The path to the left is for numbers that need to be rounded down and the right path is for numbers that need to be rounded up.

Well Hello! What is your name?

My name is Eighteen. I see that there are two different paths. How do I know which one I should take?

Lets take a look at you Eighteen.

When choosing a path for you, we need to look at the number in the ones place. If the number is 5 or higher you will be rounded up to the next tens. If the number is 4 or less you will be rounded down.

So since I have a 8 in my ones place, I will be rounded up?

That's correct! You would be rounded to the nearest tens. 

To the right I go! Thank you for your help Meso. 

Well hello new number. What is your name?

My name is Five Hundred Thirty-Two. I am quiet large and I don't know where to go. Could you help me?

Of course! Lets take a look at you.

In your hundreds place you have the number 5, the number 3 in your tens place, and a 2 in your ones place.

To determine your path, we need to see if you need to be rounded up or down. 

Since we want to round you to the nearest hundreds, we need to see if the number in the tens is 5 or higher or 4 and lower.
