Mr. Gifford’s 5th Grade Math Lesson #7Rounding Whole Numbers and Decimals.
Rounding replaces one number with another number that tells ABOUT how many or how much. When you round a number remember this: If the place value you are rounding is a 0 – 4 the number stays the same. Numbers 5 – 9 the number goes up.
Take this number467 and let’s round it to the TENS place. 1st - Underline the place value you are rounding to. In this case the TENS place. 467
2nd- Ask the number, or NEIGHBOR, to the right if it can make the underlined digit GO UP orSTAY THE SAME.467The seven makes the 6 GO UP!
3rd – Finally, make the 6 a 7 and ALL numbers to the right of the digit 6 become 0’s.467 4 7 0 You do the exact same with decimals.
Let’s try another one. Round 25,401 to the thousands place. Ask the number, NEIGHBOR, to the right if it can make the thousands place go UP or stays the SAME. 25,401
The digit 4 makes the digit 5 stay the SAME. The rounded number is now 25,000 Let’s try one more before you practice.
Round 61.92to the whole number or the ONES place. Ask the number, NEIGHBOR, to the right if it can make the thousands place go UP or stays the SAME. 61.92
The digit 9 makes the digit 1 stay the SAME. The rounded number is now 62.00
Now it is your turn to practice. Round 693 to the HUNDREDS place Round 8.025 to the TENTHS place. 700 8.000 or 8.0 ( You can leave off the other 0’s AFTER THE DECIMAL they have no value but just hold a place).
Round 2,402,593.801 to the TEN THOUSANDS place. 2,400,000.0 Round 6,972 to the HUNDREDS place. 7,000
Round 54.098 to the HUNDREDTHS place. Round 604,301.01 to the HUNDRED THOUSANDS place. 54.100 (Remember, you can get rid of the 0’s). 600,000.00
