Multi-Task Maths Slide!

 

Today I'll be showing you how to round decimals, thousands and even millions! I'm going to give you an example of rounding decimals. Say you had to round 345.89 to a whole number. Notice the " 80 " in 89. Just like rounding tens if the first decimal number is 4 or less, round it down. But if it's 5 or more, round it up. Since the number is " 8 ", and that's over 5, our answer would be 346 for the 345.89 question. 

Hope you learn something! Bye!
