When it comes to learning about rounding and estimation in Year 1 math, fun games can make it enjoyable and effective! Here are some great ideas:
Fill a jar with items like marbles or candies.
Ask students to guess how many are inside.
Once they make their guesses, they can round their estimates to the nearest ten or twenty.
Make a large number line on the floor.
When you call out a number, students must hop to the nearest rounded number.
For example, if you say 47, they should hop to 50.
Create bingo cards with different numbers on them.
Call out a number, and students mark the number rounded to the nearest ten.
For instance, if you say 63, they will mark 60.
Set up a pretend store with items and prices.
Give students fake money and ask them to estimate how much they will spend when they “buy” a few items.
They can round each price before adding them up!
These fun games not only help students practice rounding and estimation, but they also encourage teamwork and creative thinking.
