Divide and Round

Worksheet Description

This worksheet provides a series of division problems, where the quotient needs to be rounded to the nearest ten. Students are required to first solve the division problem and then apply the rounding rules to the result, simplifying it to the closest ten. The exercise combines the arithmetic operation of division with the rounding process, encouraging students to understand how these two skills interact. By working through these problems, students practice both their division and rounding skills, reinforcing their understanding of how to handle and simplify numbers.

The primary goal of this worksheet is to teach students how to round the results of division problems to the nearest ten, integrating two important math concepts. It challenges students to accurately divide numbers and then decide whether to round their answers up or down, depending on the remainder. This worksheet helps students see how rounding can be applied to division results, which is particularly useful when precise numbers are not required, and an estimate will suffice. Through this exercise, students gain experience in handling more complex, multi-step math problems, improving their overall number sense and problem-solving abilities.
