Your students can create an algorithm for rounding and estimating amounts of money with these fantastic worksheets.

Three differentiated versions of the worksheets are provided. The first version requires students to cut and paste the decisions and processes into the correct places on the algorithm flow chart. The second version involves students identifying whether the mixed-up flow chart stages are decisions or processes and writing them into the algorithm. For the final version, the students are required to create the whole flow chart algorithm.

You could provide the differentiated versions of the activity as a learning sequence over a few days. Alternatively, you could do the activity once and provide students with different versions according to their ability.

A page of price tags with various amounts that require rounding when estimating a total amount is also included in this resource. Your students could practise using their algorithm flow chart with the price tags.
