Rounding and Two-Digit Addition Practice for Grade 4
A practice worksheet that walks 4th graders through rounding two-digit numbers to the nearest ten, estimating sums, and then solving the exact addition problems. It includes a worked example showing both the estimate and the regrouped calculation, followed by practice problems in a table format that works well for a short independent or partner session.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a 20 to 30 minute math block after a brief mini-lesson on place value and rounding, or as a warm-up before a two-digit addition unit.
- Discussion question: Why might an estimate be useful even when we can calculate the exact answer? Ask students to compare their estimate and exact sum and explain whether the difference makes sense.
- Scaffold for struggling readers and learners: Have students circle the tens digit and look at the ones digit before rounding, and pair them with a partner to talk through the 5-or-more rule aloud.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to create their own two-digit addition problem where the estimate and exact answer differ by more than 10, and explain why that happens.
- Estimated time: about 25 minutes for the worked example and full practice table, plus 5 minutes for a quick class share-out.
