What does “Round to the Nearest Ten” mean?

When rounding a 2-digit number to the nearest ten, you look at the ones digit:

- If the ones digit is 0–4, round down (keep the tens digit the same).
- If the ones digit is 5–9, round up (increase the tens digit by 1).

Examples:
- 13 → ones digit is 3 → round down → 10
- 24 → ones digit is 4 → round down → 20
- 79 → ones digit is 9 → round up → 80

💡 Tip for Students:

Draw a number line if you’re unsure! For example, for 14 — it’s between 10 and 20. Since 14 is closer to 10 than to 20, round to 10.
