Instructions:

1. Print the resource on cardstock or lightly colored paper so the cards are not see-through.
2. Give students a set of question cards, answer cards, and an answer key sheet.
3. Students fill in the question cards with 12 rounding problems, and write the answer to each on one of the green answer cards. (IMPORTANT: Make sure students mix up where they put their answers so that the matches aren’t predictable!)
4. Students fill in the answer key as they create their problems so that other students who play their game can check their work.
5. When all is finished, students will cut apart their cards and place them and the answer key into a large press-and-seal baggie.
6. When students want to play a game, simply give them a recording sheet and they are good to go!
