Now the numbers grow into the hundreds, and third graders learn to peek at the tens digit instead. Part A clears up three mixed-up sentences about 420, 783, and the always-tricky 250. Part B has them round 310, 567, 892, and 135 to the nearest hundred. Part C wraps up with true-or-false statements that test whether they remember which digit to inspect, plus checks on 620 and 850.

Separating hundreds rounding from tens rounding here helps prevent the digit-confusion that trips up many third graders later.

★ Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1) Fix the sentence:
420 rounded to the nearest hundred is 500.
Rewrite: 420 rounded to the nearest hundred is 400 because 2 is less than 5 so we round down.
2) Fix the sentence:
783 rounded to the nearest hundred is 700.
Rewrite: 783 rounded to the nearest hundred is 800 because 8 is 5 or greater so we round up.
3) Fix the sentence:
250 rounded to the nearest hundred is 200.
Rewrite: 250 rounded to the nearest hundred is 300 because when the tens digit is exactly 5 we round up.
★ Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1) 310 rounded to the nearest hundred is 300.
2) 567 rounded to the nearest hundred is 600.
3) 892 rounded to the nearest hundred is 900.
4) 135 rounded to the nearest hundred is 100.
★ Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.

False
2) 620 rounded to the nearest hundred is 700.

3) 850 rounded to the nearest hundred is 900.
