What's included in the Round to the Nearest 10, 100 or 1,000 Reasoning and Problem Solving resource and why is it useful?

Year 4 Round to the Nearest 10, 100 or 1,000 Reasoning and Problem Solving is a set of 3 worksheets designed to be used during the independent reasoning and problem solving section of your maths lesson. Once children are secure in varied fluency, they are ready for these worksheets.

Each set has been carefully designed to help you meet each child where they are at to ensure progress for every child, not just the average child. The content includes 3 levels of content (Support, Core and Stretch) for Round to the Nearest 10, 100 or 1,000 covering rounding any number to the nearest 10, 100 or 1,000.

Support

• Q1: Reasoning - explain whether a character has rounded correctly, with a single-step rounding.

• Q2: Problem Solving - round three counts to the nearest 100; see that rounding can conceal the facts, with a tip.

• Q3: Problem Solving - a dice game: arrange four dice to make a number that rounds to a given 1,000, with the range given.

Core

• Q1: Reasoning - explain whether a character who rounded to the nearest 10 first has rounded correctly.

• Q2: Problem Solving - round three counts; explain whether rounding conceals or reveals the largest.

• Q3: Problem Solving - a dice game: arrange four dice to make a number that rounds to a given 1,000.

Stretch

• Q1: Reasoning - explain a rounding chain error and a correct midpoint rounding.

• Q2: Problem Solving - interpret numbers reported to different degrees of accuracy.

• Q3: Problem Solving - a dice game with two rounding conditions, one of which must not be met.

How do our reasoning and problem solving resources work?

Our reasoning and problem solving resources are not just about differentiation, but differentiation in an adaptive way. They work best alongside our teaching PowerPoints, which walk you through the whole lesson along with other lesson resources that you can find on our Round to the Nearest 10, 100 or 1,000 lesson page.

• After completing the Varied Fluency worksheet, children are now ready for their Reasoning and Problem Solving work.

• Most children will use the Core sheet for their Reasoning and Problem Solving practice.

• Some children may need the Support sheet. This has been included to give specific children the additional support required to develop their reasoning and problem solving skills and access the core content.

• Some children may need additional challenge; the Stretch sheet will deepen their understanding of the core content.

• Within the Teaching PowerPoint, a question similar to what is presented in question 1 on these sheets is given, alongside sentence stems. This can be used to lead discussion on how to solve question 1 and give all children ideas on what reasoning can be used, via oracy, to tackle the question.

Adaptive Maths Resources are not a separate lower-attainment route. They provide temporary and responsive support to help pupils access the same intended learning.
