Rounding whole numbers can be simple and fun! Here are some easy tips that I think will help Year 8 students understand it better:

1. Find the place value: First, decide which digit you want to round to. This could be the tens place or the hundreds place.

2. Check the next digit: Look at the digit right next to the one you are rounding. If that digit is 5 or bigger, you round up. If it's less than 5, you round down.

3. Try some examples: Practice rounding different numbers together. For example, if you round $348$ to the nearest ten, you get $350$.

4. Use estimation: Rounding can help with quick math. For example, if you want to add $57 + 34$, you can round $57$ to $60$ and $34$ to $30$. Then, you can easily add $60 + 30 = 90$.

Using these tips can make rounding much easier and a lot more enjoyable!
