This Grade 2 easy worksheet teaches second graders to round small coin amounts to the nearest 5 cents using friendly estimation. Learners sort six amounts into groups closer to 5 cents or closer to 10 cents, then complete five fill-in problems that round to 5, 10, and 25 cents. Four true or false items check distance thinking and the value of estimating totals on a number line for quick mental math.
