Rounding to the Nearest Ten

This past week in Math we focused on Rounding Numbers to the Nearest Ten. Students practiced this concept by playing math games and completing rounding activities. We created a chart to help keep us on track and help us to determine the benchmark numbers to help us round numbers to the nearest ten. To help us understand how to round 2-digit numbers, students found that a number line helps them to locate the benchmark numbers. To review, have your child locate the benchmark numbers and round various numbers to the nearest ten on a number line.

Students are reminded of the rounding rules. Have a look at our rounding chart that helps us to recall how to round numbers to the nearest ten. For homework this weekend, students can review how to round using the math review sheet sent home in their agendas. For more help, here is a fantastic video that will help students who need clarification on how to round numbers to the nearest ten. Practice this skill with your child at home.
