Different Types of Rounding

Worksheet Description

You are given 3 different decimal values and asked to round them to various places.  It may help to have students use different colors and underline the place on the decimal and in the question itself.

This worksheet is centered on the concept of rounding decimals to various place values. Each question provides a decimal number and three sub-questions, each requiring the student to round the number to a different place value: the nearest whole number, the nearest tenth, and the nearest hundredth. The students must apply their understanding of rounding rules to determine the correct value for each place. The worksheet is structured to guide students through the same number but at different levels of precision.

The purpose of this worksheet is to teach students how to round decimal numbers to various place values, which is a foundational skill in mathematics. Rounding is a form of estimation that is often used in real-world situations to simplify numbers, make them more understandable, or adjust them to a required level of precision. This worksheet allows students to practice the skill multiple times with the same number, helping to cement the concept.
