🔎 Search for the Nearest Ten in This Interactive Activity  

Are you looking for a unique way for your students to practise rounding? This interactive search-and-find maths resource will keep your students engaged and learning at the same time! Students follow the following steps to demonstrate their ability to round to the nearest ten:

1. Identify the number in the blue bubble as the number you need to round to.
2. Drag the magnifying glass around the screen to reveal numbered animals.
3. Once you find the number that will round to the number in the blue bubble (there is only one correct answer per slide), leave the magnifying glass over that number.
4. Navigate to the next slide and continue rounding and finding numbers!

Students will show they can round two-digit numbers to the nearest tens place through this activity.
