Free interactive math game: Round Up or Down? — Real-life rounding. Part of the Rounding category on MathKite.
Taken from the generator that powers this exercise. A fresh set appears every time the page is opened, and the printable worksheet holds ten of them.
Everyday situations where a division has a remainder and the context decides which way to round.
Divide, then ask what the leftover means. If everyone still has to fit, round up. If you can only take complete items, round down.
45 pencils in packs of 4 gives 11.25, and the quarter pack still has to be bought, so the answer is 12.
Rounding by the usual under-five rule. Here the story decides, not the size of the remainder.
