4 Error Analysis Pages:
Students analyze rounding mistakes and justify their reasoning, helping them build deeper number sense and understand rounding misconceptions. These are ideal for math talks or partner work.
Bubble Sort Activity:
Students sort colorful “bubbles” labeled with numbers 0–1000 into groups based on the ten each number rounds to. This hands-on activity is perfect for small groups or centers and helps reinforce rounding visually.
Emoji Math Sort:
Students use smile or frown emojis to identify whether rounding examples are correct. This game-style format is quick, interactive, and reinforces accuracy in rounding.
Game #1: Match-a-Round:
A memory-style matching game where students flip two cards and round both numbers. If the rounded tens match, they keep the pair! Great for partners or small groups.

Students build their breakfast plate by earning items for every correct rounding answer. Chance cards keep gameplay exciting—students never know who will win until the end!
Game #3: Whole-Class “Bucket Filler!” Game:
Set up task cards around the room. Students solve each problem, bring it to the teacher to check, and drop correct answers in a prize bucket for a fun, movement-based review.
