Some kids have a hard time learning to round numbers. Some students require some type of visualizing strategy to know why a specific number is closer to a less than or greater than rounded number. Using a number line approach can help with visualizing how to round numbers. Other students need a directed process to learn how to round up or down without using a number line. Identifying the lesser and greater rounded number and using a catchy phrase to remember the rule can help with the more advanced process. You CAN teach rounding numbers!
These 34 pages of formatted worksheets provide enough practice for most students to be able to round numbers to the tens place, hundreds place, and thousands place. The Rounding Numbers Practice Pages have 2 formats, one with a number line strategy and one with a marking process strategy. The marking process worksheets are half-page, which makes them great for dividing between instruction and homework or for extensive practice for mastery learning. Use all of the worksheets to provide a sequential systematic approach to practicing rounding. Use one format that works best for your students. Or pick and choose the specific goal you are working on for IEP goals.
Teacher instruction pages are provided to help you in explaining how to use the worksheets and guide your students to more efficiently rounding numbers. Blank templates are also provided so that you can create your own extension worksheets with a specific range of numbers or to create more engaging, fun activities using polyhedral dice!
