2nd Grade Rounding Worksheets Explained

Rounding makes a number simple and hence, easier to perform an arithmetic operation on it. A number can be rounded to the nearest tens or hundreds. Hence, it is important to have a firm understanding of the concept of place value. 

The grade 2 rounding worksheets presents a variety of problems on place value and rounding of numbers such as:

 
  • Place Value - The problems in the second grade rounding worksheets focus on basic understanding of the concept of place value of digits in a number and then applying this concept to round numbers to nearest tens or hundreds. The worksheets present a wide range of problems on place value where a student is required to know the place value of any digit in a given multi-digit number. The questions here are based on writing a 3 digit number and expressing it in an expanded form based on the place value of digits in the number. The problems are framed in both ways, one type in which a number is to be written in expanded form, and the second, where a number is to be written from its expanded form. 
 
  • Comparison of Numbers - The 2nd grade rounding worksheets presents an array of problems on comparing multi-digit numbers and arranging them in increasing and decreasing order. The knowledge of place value comes in handy for such questions where two or more numbers with three digits are being compared.
 
  • Rounding Numbers - A number when rounded, although not accurate, but is close to its exact value which makes it easier to perform math operations on the number. This technique can be used by students to determine whether their calculated answers are reasonable or not. The problems in rounding worksheets for grade 2 allow students to enhance and apply their knowledge of rounding numbers extensively and sharpen their problem solving skills. The questions here focus on rounding to nearest tens and hundreds.
