Rounding Numbers (Year 3/4)

Learning about rounding numbers is a big part of KS2 Maths! In Years Three and Four, kids discover how to round whole numbers to the nearest ten or hundred.

Rounding means making numbers simpler, closer to the nearest ten or hundred. It's like deciding which group of ten or hundred a number belongs to. But, if a number ends in 5 or 50, we always round it up!

Rounded numbers aren't exact, but they're really helpful for big numbers. Try a quiz to see how well you know rounding numbers. Perfect for 7-9 year olds!
