Twenty four-digit numbers to round, grouped under headings for the nearest ten, hundred and thousand, so children practice finding the right digit for each place. No number is already rounded, and the key uses the standard rule: 5 or more rounds up.
Rounding is estimation's main tool: 3,487 + 2,912 is about 3,500 + 2,900. In the Common Core standards, 3rd graders round to the nearest 10 or 100 and 4th graders round to any place. For grade-level sheets, see rounding for 3rd grade and rounding for 4th grade.
Tips for using it
- Underline the rounding digit, then look one place to the right: 5 or more rounds up.
- Ask which two 'round' numbers the number is between, and which one it's closer to.

Questions
How do you round to the nearest hundred?
Look at the tens digit. If it's 5 or more, round up; if it's 4 or less, round down. 3,487 rounds to 3,500 because the tens digit is 8.
What happens when a number is exactly halfway?
The usual school rule rounds up: 2,450 rounded to the nearest hundred is 2,500.
