What?! 122,956 to the nearest thousand is 2?
Oh. I see.
The number in the thousand place is 2. So to round the number to the nearest thousand, you look at the first digit to the right, which is 9. Do you round up or down? You round up. Why? Well to round down, the number must be 4 to 0. If it's 5 to 9, then you round up. 
So what does 122,956 round to?
