Rounding Worksheets

Make rounding visual with number lines. Each worksheet shows twelve numbers, each placed by an arrow on its own small number line that goes from the ten, hundred, or thousand just below it to the one just above. A longer tick marks the halfway point, and children circle the end that is closest: the rounded number.

The levels round 2-digit and 3-digit numbers to the nearest ten, 3-digit numbers to the nearest hundred, and 4-digit numbers to the nearest thousand. A number exactly halfway rounds up, as taught in school.

Available as a high quality PDF ready for A4 printing, perfect for homework, classroom practice, or math centers.

How to Round a Number

Rounding replaces a number with the nearest ten, hundred, or thousand. On these worksheets, each number sits on a number line between the two possible answers. If the number is before the halfway mark, round down to the lower end; if it is on or after the halfway mark, round up to the higher end. For example, 43 rounds to 40, and 45 rounds to 50.

How do the levels work?

Children start by rounding 2-digit numbers to the nearest ten, then 3-digit numbers to the nearest ten. The next levels round 3-digit numbers to the nearest hundred and 4-digit numbers to the nearest thousand. No number on the worksheets is already rounded, so every problem needs a real decision.

Tips for rounding

  • Find the digit just to the right of the place you round to: 5 or more rounds up, 4 or less rounds down.
  • Use the halfway tick on the number line to check your answer.
  • Remember that numbers exactly halfway always round up.
  • Say the two possible answers out loud before choosing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do the number lines show?

Each number line goes from the ten, hundred, or thousand just below the number to the one just above. An arrow marks the number, and the longer tick in the middle marks the halfway point, so children can see which end is closer.

What happens with a number exactly halfway?

It rounds up, as taught in most schools: 45 rounds to 50, 250 rounds to 300, and 3,500 rounds to 4,000.
