Rounding Decimals

Rounding Decimals

Rule: 4 or less, let it rest; 5 or more, raise the score.

Steps to Rounding:

1. Identify the digit which must be rounded (place value).

2. Look at the number to the RIGHT of the digit.

3. If the digit to the right is 4 or less, the digit remains the SAME.  If the digit to the right is 5 or more, the digit goes up by ONE.

Examples:

4.57 rounded to the nearest TENTH.

5.19 rounded to the nearest WHOLE.
