Rounding Practice

Today we talked about estimating and rounding.  Students were to think of the numbers in a number line.  We then placed a given number on that number line to find benchmark numbers (numbers close to the number by 10's, 100's, or 1,000's) and then we rounded the number.  <a href="http://www.free-training-tutorial.com/rounding/sharks.html">Here is a game online to practice rounding to 100.</a>  <a href="http://www.mrnussbaum.com/rounding.htm#drills">Here is a link to some online rounding drills.</a>  <a href="http://www.mrnussbaum.com/rounding.htm#games">Here is a link to more online games.</a>  <a href="http://www.superteacherworksheets.com/rounding.html">Here are printable worksheets</a>. Your student should be able to round to the nearest hundred or thousand.  The next step would be to practice rounding decimals.
