Complete different tasks at the farm with every correct answer, from planting seeds to growing and collecting fruit, fixing tractors and mending fences. A farmer’s work is never done!

In this version of the game, students practise rounding decimal numbers (with up to two decimal places) to the nearest whole number. Each question provides a decimal value and a set of multiple choice options. Every correct answer allows students to complete a new farm task and help get the job done around the property.

Let’s Farm: Rounding Decimals to the Whole Number supports place value understanding through repetitive, real-world-style rounding tasks. The themed tasks and visual feedback make the learning meaningful, motivating students to persist and succeed.

Key Learning Outcomes

• ✅ Round decimal numbers (up to two decimal places) to the nearest whole number
