Rounding Decimals

What is the purpose of rounding numbers?

• To increase the precision of numbers

• To simplify calculations and improve understandability

• To make numbers more complicated

• To change the value of numbers randomly

What does rounding a number to the nearest 10 involve?

• Ignoring the number's value and guessing

• Deciding if the number goes up to the next ten or down to the previous ten

• Choosing to round up or down based on the ones place

• Deciding between moving up to the next hundred or down to the previous hundred

Why might someone round a number?

• For the challenge of it

• To simplify calculations or when exact precision is not necessary

• To make it harder to understand

• Because they dislike the original number

What is the 'target' when rounding a number?

• The largest digit in the number

• A random digit chosen for fun

• The digit in the place you are rounding to

• The smallest digit in the number

What happens to digits smaller than the 'target' in rounding?

• They are removed from the number

• They are increased by one

• They are left unchanged

• They are replaced with zeros

How do you decide whether to round up or down?

• Flip a coin

• Ask a friend

• If the digit right after the target is 5 or more, round up

• Always round down for simplicity
