Ages 9–11 · 6 minutes · Math

Round decimals to the nearest tenth

Students will round a decimal to the nearest tenth by identifying the hundredths digit and applying the rounding rule: round up if it's 5 or more, round down if it's less than 5. Students will practice with numbers like 4.38 or 15.86, using a number line to visualize which tenth the decimal is closer to. Using real-world examples, students will round decimal measurements to the nearest tenth.
