Time to round some decimals! Grab your pencil, follow the directions, and let's begin!

A decimal point is a little dot that shows where the whole numbers end and the tiny pieces begin. Each digit on either side of the dot has a different place value. For example, in the number 3.52, the digit 3 is in the ones place, the 5 is in the tenths place, and the 2 is in the hundredths place. You can break down 3.52 as 3 + 0.5 + 0.02 in place value form. To round 3.52 to the nearest tenths place, look at the digit in the hundredths place: round down if it is 4 or lower, and round up if it is 5 or higher. In this case, you round down to 3.5. Now that you know how decimals and rounding work, let's complete the activity!
