Reason For Learning
Often answers are not a neat number and may be a very long decimal, rounding is the idea of trimming the decimal to a number that is close but not exact to simplify further operations or minimise writing.
Learning Intention
Rounding to 2, 3, 4 decimal places, rounding where the rounded digit is zero
Rounding to a single figure
Using rounded values to estimate answers to decimal addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems.
