Numeracy- rounding numbers

We have been learning about how to round numbers to the nearest 10.
You asked to be able to play these games at home so here they are.

Remember our top tips for rounding numbers to the nearest 10:

  • Look at the number
  • Decide which 2 tens numbers it lies between
  • Look at the end digit
  • If it ends in 1,2,3,or 4 round down
  • If it ends in 5,6,7,8 or 9 round up
