About this worksheet
Rounding a decimal works the same way as rounding a whole number. Find the place you are rounding to and look at the digit to its right: 5 or more rounds up, 4 or less stays the same.
Each number on this sheet is rounded four times, to the hundredths, tenths, ones and tens, so a child sees how the same number changes at each place.
A worked example
Round 72.162 to each place.
- Hundredths: the digit after the 6 is 2, so it stays 72.16.
- Tenths: the digit after the 1 is 6, so the 1 goes up: 72.2.
- Ones: the digit after the 2 is 1, so it stays 72.
- Tens: the digit after the 7 is 2, so it stays 70.
Answer: 72.16, 72.2, 72, 70
The common mistake
What it looks like: Rounding 72.162 to the tenths as 72.20 or 72.200.
Why it happens: Changing the dropped digits to zeros is the rule for whole numbers, and it gets carried across the point.
How to fix it: After the decimal point, drop the digits instead of writing zeros. Before the point, the zeros stay to hold the places.
