Tenth Target
Worksheet Description
This worksheet focuses on rounding proper fractions to the nearest tenth. Students are given a variety of proper fractions-fractions where the numerator is smaller than the denominator-and are tasked with converting these fractions to their decimal form, then rounding them to the nearest tenth. This exercise reinforces students’ understanding of the relationship between fractions and decimals, while also enhancing their ability to round numbers accurately. By completing these problems, students gain confidence in handling fractions and decimals, an important skill in both academic math and real-world applications.
This worksheet teaches students how to round proper fractions to the nearest tenth by first converting them into decimals. It encourages students to practice their fraction-to-decimal conversion skills, then challenges them to apply rounding rules to determine the correct decimal approximation. This activity builds a strong foundation in both fraction and decimal operations, ensuring that students are well-prepared for more complex mathematical tasks. By mastering this skill, students improve their overall numerical fluency and develop a better understanding of how different numerical forms relate to each other.
