About this worksheet
A table to round each three-digit number to the nearest 10 and the nearest 100.
What kids practice
Rounding finds the nearest ten or hundred, so 47 rounds to 50 and 362 rounds to 400. Third graders round numbers up to 1,000 by thinking about which ten or hundred a number is closer to on a number line. Rounding makes numbers easier to work with, and children use it to estimate answers and check that they make sense.
Watch for
- Looking at the wrong digit, like the ones digit when rounding to the nearest 100.
- Changing the digits that should stay, like rounding 348 to 400 when rounding to the nearest 10.
- Rounding 45 down to 40. A 5 rounds up.
It's free to print, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page and an answer key. See the full rounding to 10 and 100 guide for 3rd grade.
