In this Grade 5 enVision Mathematics lesson from Chapter 1, students learn how to round decimals to the nearest whole number, tenth, and hundredth by identifying the rounding place, examining the digit to its right, and applying the standard rounding rule for digits 5 or greater. Students use number lines to visualize where a decimal falls between two benchmarks and determine which value it is closest to. The lesson builds decimal place value understanding through guided and independent practice with real-world contexts such as distances and measurements.
Section 1
Procedure: How to Round Decimals
To round a decimal to a given place value, identify the digit in that place. Then, look at the digit immediately to its right.
Finally, drop all digits to the right of the rounding place.
Section 2
Rounding the Same Number to Different Places
The result of rounding a number depends on the place value to which you are rounding. A single number can have multiple rounded values, each corresponding to a different place value and level of precision.
