ROUND AND ROUND WE GO

place value · rounding three-digit numbers to the nearest 10 or 100

To round numbers to the nearest 10 and 100, to identify numbers as even or odd

ROUND AND ROUND WE GO is a Grade 3 place-value game for rounding three-digit numbers to the nearest 10 or 100. Students build a three-digit number from cards, then a die determines the rounding target: odd rolls mean nearest 10 and even rolls mean nearest 100. Correct answers allow movement on the shared game board.

Use it in a small group when students are practicing both rounding and odd/even classification. Saying the original number aloud before rounding helps keep place value and number naming connected to the strategy.
