This resource contains two interactive excel files which deal with rounding of discrete and continuous variables and pose problems involving practical examples of calculations using rounded values.

Rounded Numbers: Bounds The first interactive sheet shows two numbers rounded to the nearest...

In this resource from the DfE Standards Unit, students work together to round numbers to the nearest 10, 100, 1000. They make generalisations from the results obtained. Students should have some awareness of place value. (GCSE grades E-G)

Students' misconceptions when rounding to the nearest 1000 is the focus of this resource from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching. It illustrates how, when asked to round a value to the nearest 1000, some students mistakenly round to the nearest 10, then the nearest 100 and finally to the nearest 1000...

The aim of the route inspection problem is to find a route that is as short as possible yet goes down every road once and returns to the starting point.
