This resource provides a comprehensive guide on rounding numbers. It starts with a clear definition of rounding and the steps involved: identifying the place value to round to and examining the digit to the right. The rules are straightforward: if the digit to the right of the rounding place is 4 or less, the rounding digit remains unchanged; if it is 5 or more, the rounding digit is increased by one. The document includes guided practice with worked examples detailing the rounding process for both whole numbers and decimals. It features a faded example to encourage student participation and includes independent practice problems for learners to tackle on their own. This structured approach aids in mastering the concept of rounding effectively.
