Roll It and Round It

Rounding practice, powered by a roll of the dice.

Roll three dice, build a three-digit number and round it to the nearest 10. Find the answer on the grid and claim the space. Keep rolling to see how many you can cover!

Roll It and Round It is a simple maths game designed to build confidence with place value and rounding through play.

How to play

Roll three 10-sided dice. Read the dice in the order they land to create a three-digit number.

For example, if you roll 3, 5 and 7, your number is 357. Round 357 to the nearest 10 and cover or cross out 360 on the grid.

Then roll again and keep going!

You can:

• Set a timer and see how many spaces you can cover before time runs out, or

• Keep playing until you've covered the whole board.

If you roll 000, 001, 002, 003 or 004, there's nothing to round on the board, so take another turn.

You’ll need:

• 3 × 10-sided dice

• A pen or counters

• Your printed Roll It & Round It game board

• A timer, if you want to play against the clock

Top tip: Laminate your game board and use a whiteboard pen so you can wipe it clean and play again. No laminator? Use counters instead and keep the printed board intact.

Great for:

• Practising rounding to the nearest 10

• Understanding place value

• Building number sense

• Maths practice that doesn't feel like a worksheet

• Playing at home, in tutoring or in the classroom
