Use place value understanding to round decimals to any place

What you'll learn

1. Round decimals to any specified place (ones, tenths, or hundredths) using the standard rounding procedure
2. Identify which two multiples of a given place value a decimal falls between, then determine which is closer
3. Use a number line model to visualize where a decimal sits relative to its two rounding benchmarks
4. Apply the "look at the digit to the right" rule and explain why it works in terms of closeness to benchmarks
5. Avoid cascading-round errors by rounding from the original number, not from a partially rounded result

Prerequisites

• Read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths
