Place Value Copy this chart in your notebook and MEMORIZE each place value!

Rounding Decimals BIG NOTE: “Five or more, raise the score. Four or less, let it rest” Example: Round 3.1416 to the nearest hundredths: Step 1: Find the hundredths place. Step 2: You must look at the number AFTER the hundredths place. Step 3: If the number is five or more, you must round up. If the number is four or less. You leave it the same.

So 3.1416 is rounded to 3.14

Rounding Decimals when Dividing In order to round the appropriate place value, you must divide until after the given place value in order to know whether you round up or down.
