III. Learning Experiences

A. Preparatory Activities
1. Drill (Using flash cards)
Rounding of whole numbers
Round off the underlined digit.
1. 34 567
2. 2 398
3. 12 394
4. 76 360
5. 973

2. Review
Identifying place value through thousandths

Mechanics:

a. The teacher will ask a pupil to choose a number and identify its place value.
b. To check if his/her answer is correct; the pupil will pull down a paper behind the
chosen number.
12.345

3. Motivation
Guessing Game
The teacher will dictate a number. The pupils will guess the number being referred to
like “This number is close to 50. It is between 45 and 47. What is the number?” Pupils will
mention the number. Another example: “This number is 3 more than 40. What is the
number?” (Continue this activity until the pupils master the game.

B. Developmental Activities

Group Activity

Group 1
 Benson bought a rope at Ace Hardware. A roll of rope is 0.437 dm long. It is divided
equally into sections of 0.1535 dm. How can we round 0.437 to the nearest
hundredths and 0.1535 to the nearest thousandths?
Answer the following:

A. What is asked in the problem?

B. What are the given facts?
C. Round 0.785 to the nearest hundredths?
D. Round 1.264 to the nearest tenths?

Group 2

Round off the decimal to the indicated place value.

Tenths Hundredths Thousandths

0.8157
62.4213
0.9349
11.9846
2.0452

Group 3

Underline the rounding place of each number and then, round it as required.

a. 0.465 to the nearest tenths

b. 9.135 to the nearest tenths
c. 14.678 to the nearest hundredths
d. 12.438 to the nearest hundredths
e. 15.1958 to the nearest thousandths.

Group 4

Round off the underlined digit.

a. 6.735
b. 4.109
c. 0.3689
d. 13.285
e. 0.341

C. Processing the Result of Activity

Ask the following to the pupils:

 How do we round decimals?
 What are the rules in rounding off decimals?

D. Reinforcing Activity

Instructional Game

Mechanics:
 The teacher will divide the class into two or more teams. A player from one
team goes to the board and answers the first number. If correct, the team wins a
point. A member of the next team answers the second number, and continues in
this manner.

Number Round to the Digit to the Rounded to

nearest right
1.) 8.355 Hundredths
2.) 4.72 Tenths
3.) 81.569 Hundredths
4.) 0.0546 Thousandths
5.) 0.6384 Thousandths
6.) 11.320 Tenths

E. Applying to New and Other Situation

(Solve Me)

Science Integration

A. Your mother asked you to buy 2.468 kilogram of fruits and vegetables for salad.
What is the weight of fruits and vegetables?
 Why do we eat fruits and vegetables?

A.P Integeration

B. Magellan received 4.7259 spices for the people of Moluccas Island. What is the
weight of spices when rounded to the nearest thousandths?

F. Summarizing the Lesson

 What is the rule to be followed when rounding decimals?

To round decimal number:
- Determine the rounding place
- Look at the digit to its right. If it is less than 5 round down. If it is 5 or
more, round up.
- Drop all the digit/s to its right.
