Whole Number Rounding

Worksheet Description

You will round all of the decimal values to the nearest whole number.   You will also answer a simple decimal word problem and then round your answer.

This worksheet is a collection of rounding exercises where students are asked to round decimal numbers to the nearest whole number. It contains twelve items, each presenting a different decimal that needs to be rounded off. There is also a word problem as the thirteenth question, which involves a real-life application of rounding. Students are expected to write the rounded numbers on the lines provided next to each question.

The worksheet’s purpose is to reinforce the concept of rounding decimals—a key mathematical skill. Rounding is used to simplify numbers, making them easier to work with in mental calculations and when estimating. The students will practice observing the tenths place to decide if the whole number part of the decimal needs to be increased. This exercise will help students in making quicker and more efficient calculations, and the inclusion of a word problem demonstrates how rounding is used in practical situations.
