There were two numbers to the problem. The first was 346. She rounded that to 300. Then the other one is 14. So how would you round it to the nearest 100?
So, come on, help us out here. When the problem says there are more than one number, don't give us just one number and mislead us into trying to figure out how one number can be more than one.
Re the problem:
114 rounds to 100.
214 rounds to 200
014 rounds to 000.
The leading zeroes concept might be WAY too much detail for a nine-year old to realize. It might, however, be part of the lesson or a previous lesson. You need to ask about that.
Did your kid ever learn that 1 = 01 = 001? And actually absorb it? Like I say, it's a tough concept.
And did you get this one worked out? --
