Ten-Target

Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents a list of numbers, each paired with two possible rounded outcomes, and asks students to circle the correct rounded number to the nearest ten. The exercise focuses on reinforcing students’ understanding of rounding by having them choose between two options, both close to the original number but differing by ten. This format helps students quickly determine whether to round up or down, based on the digit in the ones place. The worksheet is a straightforward yet effective way to practice rounding, offering immediate feedback as students select the correct answer.

This worksheet is designed to teach students the essential skill of rounding numbers to the nearest ten by honing their ability to make quick decisions. It reinforces the rule that if the ones digit is five or greater, the number rounds up, while if it is four or less, the number rounds down. By providing two options for each problem, the worksheet helps students focus on the logic behind rounding and apply it consistently. Ultimately, it aims to build their confidence in rounding numbers correctly, an important skill for simplifying calculations and making estimates in everyday situations.
