Mathematics
This Grade 3 mathematics worksheet helps students round numbers to the nearest ten and nearest hundred. The 12 multiple-choice questions begin with two-digit and three-digit rounding to the nearest ten, then move to three- and four-digit numbers rounded to the nearest hundred, including values such as 206, 478, 9,373, and 5,345. Students choose between two possible rounded values, using the digit to the right of the target place to decide whether to round up or down. This format gives teachers a focused way to check place-value understanding and rounding accuracy across different number sizes. The worksheet is a free printable worksheet with a complete answer key, making it suitable for independent practice, guided instruction, or a quick skills check.

This Grade 3 worksheet covers rounding numbers to the nearest ten and nearest hundred through 12 multiple-choice questions. Students select the correct rounded value for numbers ranging from 55 and 363 to four-digit numbers such as 9,373 and 5,345, building accuracy with both the target place and the deciding digit.
First model how to identify the hundreds place and inspect the tens digit, then use the worksheet’s two-choice items to have students explain why a number rounds up or down. Begin with the nearest-ten questions, such as 55 and 363, before guiding students through the nearest-hundred items so they connect the same place-value reasoning across both skills.
Students may round to the wrong place, especially by using the ones digit when the question asks for the nearest hundred. They may also choose the lower value automatically instead of checking the deciding digit; for example, 184 rounds to 200, while 206 rounds to 200 because the tens digit is below 5. Check that students distinguish the nearest-ten items from the nearest-hundred items before selecting an answer.
