Round-Up Challenge

Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents a hands-on activity where students are tasked with rounding the price of various items to the nearest dollar. Each item on the sheet-a dress, a car, a computer, a shoe, and a guitar-has a corresponding price tag that requires rounding. The bottom section of the worksheet displays a set of dollar amounts, which are intended to be cut out and pasted next to the correct item. The activity is designed to be interactive, using a cut-and-paste method to reinforce the rounding concept.

The primary objective of this worksheet is to teach students the concept of rounding monetary values to the nearest whole dollar. It encourages students to recognize numbers and understand the idea of estimating costs in a more simplified form. Through this exercise, students practice their number sense and enhance their ability to quickly calculate approximate costs or payments. The cut-and-paste element adds a tactile dimension to the learning process, which can help to solidify the rounding concept in a student’s memory.
