First Grade Rounding Numbers
First Grade Rounding Numbers
Strengthen Rounding Skills with Visual and Hands-On Practice!
These 1st grade rounding worksheets help students build confidence in rounding single and two-digit numbers to the nearest ten, reinforcing their understanding of place value. With numbers up to 100, students explore the idea of being “close to” a ten using visual tools like number lines, base-10 blocks, tens frames, and place value charts.
Fun and interactive activities—such as coloring, charting, and cut-and-paste—support independent problem-solving, while simple rhymes like “1–4, stay on the floor” and “5–9, climb the vine” make rounding easy to remember. These worksheets offer a strong foundation for rounding skills that carry over into more advanced math concepts.
