Rounding Decimals Quiz & Worksheets Cheat Sheet
- Understand the place value system - Every decimal digit lives in its own "neighborhood," like tenths, hundredths, or thousandths, and knowing where each digit sits is key to rounding correctly. Think of it as each place having its own dance floor - only the closest partner decides if you move up or stay put. Symbolab Guide on Rounding Decimals
- Learn the rounding rule - The magic number is 5: if the digit right next to your rounding place is 5 or more, you round up; if it's 4 or less, you round down. This "five-and-above, four-and-below" rhyme is your trusty sidekick for instant decisions. Online Math Learning: Rounding Decimals
