In this activity, we will be rounding numbers to the nearest ten.

 

Remember: If the number in the ones place is 1, 2, 3 or 4, round down to the nearest ten!

If the number in the ones place is 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, round up to the nearest ten!

 

Example 1

Round 76 to the nearest ten.

76 is between 70 and 80. 

 

Number line

 

The answer is 80 because in 76, the 6 in the ones place is more than 5, so round up to 80.  

 

Example 2

Round 34 to the nearest ten.

34 is between 30 and 40.

There is a 4 in the ones place, so it rounds down to 30.
