Fifth graders so far have learned to round decimals to the nearest tenth. They can now apply this understanding to round decimals up to the nearest hundredth. While visual models and number lines help build a strong foundation, fun characters keep them glued to math practice for hours.

What’s inside?

- Begin with rounding decimals to the nearest hundredth using number lines.

- Next, round decimals to the hundredth place without the help of a number line.

- Finally, consolidate your learning by practicing the concept in different fun formats.

Real-World Application

As abstract as it may seem, rounding to the nearest hundredth is a skill that is used outside the classroom as well. For instance, to calculate the price of an egg to the nearest cent, we divide the dozen price by 12 and round the answer to the nearest hundredth.

What’s next?

After working with the tenths and the hundredths position, children are now ready to move on to the thousandth place in the next grade.
