Round and round students may go when trying to learn how to round to the nearest ten. When rounding, students need to understand place values and the rules for rounding up or down. Students will be asked to find which multiple of 10 the numbers are nearest to by looking at the number in the tens’ place and rounding down if the number is between 1 and 4 and rounding up if the number is between 5 and 9. There are a variety of resources for making rounding to the nearest ten easy and entertaining while teaching the basic steps for rounding. Fun activities, such as color by number, help make rounding to the nearest ten fun and keep students’ attention. As lower-elementary students learn about rounding to the nearest ten their skills in estimating sums will improve. After teaching rounding to the nearest ten, you can move on to rounding three-digit numbers.
