Nearest Ten Cents

Worksheet Description

The worksheet is a math exercise focused on estimating money to the nearest ten cents. It lists twenty monetary amounts in dollars and cents, and the students are instructed to round each amount to the nearest ten cents. There are blank lines provided next to each amount where students can write their rounded estimates. This exercise is designed to help students practice the specific skill of rounding to the nearest ten cents, a more precise form of estimation than rounding to the nearest dollar.

This worksheet aims to improve the students’ ability to work with smaller units of currency and to enhance their understanding of decimals and place value. Rounding to the nearest ten cents requires students to look at the digit in the hundredths place and determine whether it rounds the ten cents up or down. This type of estimation is useful for making quick calculations with prices and change in real-life shopping scenarios. Furthermore, the worksheet helps to develop mental math skills and fosters a better grasp of the value and rounding of money, an essential aspect of financial literacy.
