Common Core State Standard 3.NBT.A.1 asks students in Grade 3 to "use place value understanding to round numbers to the nearest 10 or 100." Fourth graders (4.NBT.A.3) must "use place value to round multi-digit whole numbers to any place." By fifth grade, the Common Core requires students to round decimals (5.NBT.A.4). Let's take a look at some free or inexpensive resources available to teach rounding.
Rounding Activities and Worksheets, created by Kholmquist, is a great place to start with third grade students. For some seasonal fun, try Pick a Pumpkin Rounding Game or Jack-o-Lantern Rounding, created by Elena Fryer. Finally, engage your third graders with some hands-on fun using Rounding to the Nearest 10 or 100 Place Value Mystery Pictures by Loreen Leedy.
Several terrific products employ technology to teach this concept. Rounding Robots PowerPoints & Printables by Jan Lindley and Rounding Numbers Round-Up SMARTboard and Game Bundle by Amy's SMART Designs will really engage your engage third and/or fourth grade students.
