Rounding Worksheets

Pick a rounding sheet, press Make a new sheet for new numbers, and print it with the key.

20 problems. Nearest 10, no numbers ending in 5. Sheet DTUCZ9, with its answer key.

How it works

These rounding worksheets go from 2-digit numbers to the nearest 10 up to 6-digit numbers to the nearest 1,000. Each press of Make a new sheet deals new numbers, and the key prints on page 2.

Look one place to the right

To round to the nearest ten, look at the ones digit: 0 to 4 stays, 5 to 9 goes up, so 43 is 40 and 47 is 50. The first sheet leaves out numbers ending in 5; the next ones keep them, and halfway rounds up: 365 is 370.

Bigger numbers, same rule

For 1,000 look at the hundreds digit: 624,519 rounds to 625,000. One number, nearest 10 and nearest 1,000 shows that the two answers need not agree. The estimate sheets round first, then check the exact answer.

  • Round from the original number each time. 7,455 to the nearest 10 is 7,460, but rounding 7,460 again is a different question.

Questions and answers

Is there a rounding to the nearest ten worksheet?

The To the nearest 10 group has four: 2-digit numbers with no 5s, 3-digit numbers, 5-digit numbers, and a sheet that names the two tens a number sits between.

What grade learns rounding?

In Common Core states, grade 3 rounds whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100, and grade 4 rounds multi-digit numbers to any place. The 5-digit and 6-digit sheets here are grade 4 work.

Does 5 round up or down?

Up, on these math rounding worksheets: a number exactly halfway goes to the higher ten, hundred or thousand, so 365 is 370 and 7,500 is 8,000.

All 11 sheet types

To the nearest 10 4

  • Nearest 10 with 3-digit numbers, written in lines 365 rounds to 370: it sits halfway between 360 and 370, and halfway rounds up.
  • Nearest 10 with 5-digit numbers 48,236 rounds to 48,240. Only the tens and ones change; every digit to the left stays.
  • Nearest 10, no numbers ending in 5 47 rounds to 50 and 43 rounds to 40: look at the ones digit. No number on this sheet ends in 5, so no pupil has to remember the halfway rule yet.
  • Which two tens is a 2-digit number between? 63 is between 60 and 70, and closer to 60. Writing both tens first makes the rounding a choice between two numbers.

To the nearest 100 1

  • Nearest 100 with 5-digit and 6-digit numbers 352,648 rounds to 352,600: the tens digit is 4, so the hundreds digit stays.

To the nearest 1,000 4

  • Nearest 1,000 with 6-digit numbers 624,519 rounds to 625,000: the hundreds digit is 5, so the thousands digit goes up by one.
  • One 5-digit number, nearest 100 and nearest 1,000 58,461 is 58,500 to the nearest 100 and 58,000 to the nearest 1,000. Round from the original number each time, never from the first answer.
  • One number, nearest 10 and nearest 1,000 7,455 is 7,460 to the nearest 10 and 7,000 to the nearest 1,000. The two answers do not have to agree.
  • Which two thousands is a 5-digit number between? 46,720 is between 46,000 and 47,000, and closer to 47,000. Write both thousands, then circle the nearer one.

Round to estimate 2

  • Estimate a 2-digit difference to the nearest 10 84 − 27 is about 80 − 30 = 50. The exact answer, 57, is near enough to trust.
  • Estimate a 4-digit sum to the nearest 100 2,380 + 1,540 is about 2,400 + 1,500 = 3,900. The exact sum, 3,920, is close, so the answer makes sense.
