Rounding Decimals Resources

To round a decimal, you identify the desired place value, check the digit immediately to its right, and apply the rounding rule: if the digit is 5 or greater, increase the digit in the rounding place by one; if it is 4 or less, leave the digit unchanged. All digits to the right of the rounding place are then removed. This process helps simplify numbers while keeping their values close to the original.

Here, you’ll find worksheets and practice activities focused on rounding decimals to the nearest whole number, tenth, hundredth, and beyond. These resources are designed to strengthen students’ understanding of decimal place value, reinforcing how digits to the right of the decimal point represent parts of a whole. By practicing rounding, learners improve their number sense, estimation skills, and ability to work confidently with decimals in real-world contexts, such as money, measurement, and data.

The materials are suitable for classroom instruction, homework, or independent study, offering clear examples and progressive practice problems. Teachers and parents can use these worksheets to help students master a key math skill that connects directly to operations with decimals, fractions, and percentages.
