Reasoned Rounding printable sheet


This is a rounding game for two players. 

11 circles, each split in half, with labels from 0 to 100 counting up in 10s


You will need a recording sheet shared between the two players. One sheet is enough for three games.

The first player rolls a 0-9 dice twice and chooses which two-digit number they would like to make from the numbers rolled.
They then round this number to the nearest 10, find the matching circle on the recording sheet and write their two digit number in one of the spaces in that circle.

The second player rolls the dice twice to take their turn in a similar way.

A circle is complete when it has two numbers in it and this scores a point for the person who wrote the second number in. (Even if the first number was written in by the other player.)

The game is over when all the circles are full and then the points are counted up to find the winner.
