Rounding Decimals

  • Round numbers with 1 decimal place to the nearest whole number.
  • Look at the digit in the tenths column to understand whether to round a number up or not
  • If a number is exactly half-way, then by convention we round up to the next integer.

Which whole numbers does the decimal lie between? Which whole number is the decimal closer to on the number line? Which column do we focus on when rounding to the nearest whole number?
