Football Rounding - Rounding Numbers to the Nearest 10, 100 and 1000 - Worksheet

This engaging worksheet activity is designed to help students master the concept of rounding numbers to the nearest 10, 100, and 1000. The worksheet presents a fun football theme where numbers are displayed on footballs, and students are tasked with rounding these numbers to the nearest ten. To complete the exercise, they must draw lines from the footballs to the corresponding goals that represent the rounded figures. This visual and interactive approach aids in reinforcing the rounding rules and assists students in visualising the process.

As students progress through the worksheet, the rounding challenges increase in difficulty. The next section requires students to round numbers to the nearest 100. Numbers such as 1048, 1083, and 962 are printed on the footballs, and students must use their rounding skills to determine which goal, labelled with numbers like 1200, 900, and 1000, they belong to. The final exercise steps up the complexity further, asking students to round to the nearest 1000. They will encounter numbers like 589, 3469, and 1463, and must accurately round them to the nearest thousand, such as 2000, 4000, or 1000. This worksheet is an excellent tool for practising rounding skills in a fun and interactive way.
