Average Rounding

Worksheet Description

This worksheet focuses on calculating the average of three whole numbers and then rounding the resulting average to the nearest ten. Each problem provides a different set of three numbers, requiring students to first find their average and then apply rounding rules to simplify the result. The exercise combines basic arithmetic operations with the concept of rounding, challenging students to perform multiple steps to arrive at the correct answer. By working through these problems, students practice both averaging and rounding, two fundamental math skills.

This worksheet teaches students how to integrate their understanding of averages with the practical skill of rounding. It encourages them to perform precise calculations to find the average and then use the rounding rules to simplify that average to the nearest ten. The exercise reinforces the importance of accuracy in mathematical calculations and demonstrates how rounding can be used to make numbers easier to work with in everyday situations. Overall, it aims to solidify students’ confidence in handling multi-step problems involving both averaging and rounding.
