Rounding Decimals Game

Are you looking for a fun, whole-class game to review rounding decimals? Teach Starter has created an “I Have, Who Has?” game for your student to review their rounding skills. This game includes 36 cards to use as a whole class game.

To play, distribute the game cards amongst students. Some students may need to have 2 cards so that all cards can be used. The student with the first card begins the game. Students must listen to the question and determine if their decimal rounds to the number from the card that has been read. Play continues until all cards have been read.

Through this activity, students will show they can round numbers to the nearest hundredth place.

If you have a mixture of above and below-level learners, check out these suggestions for keeping students on track with the concepts: 

🆘 Support Struggling Students

For students who need a bit of support, gather a small group of students to demonstrate how the game works. Students can observe and see how each player reads their card, and then other classmates will see if their card is the answer to the previous question. Additionally, remind students of decimal place value and rounding rules.

➕ Challenge Fast Finishers

For students who need a bit of a challenge, encourage them to list additional values that round to the given question.
