MP 6 – Attend to Precision
Round a decimal number to 2,3 4 and 1 decimal place correctly after a class discussion.
Work with their peers to solve while being respectful to each other.
PREREQUISITE KNOWLEDGE/SKILLS:
What is rounding off a number? Rounding off mean making a number simpler but still keeping it
value intact.
Content
When rounding off a number to curtain number of decimal places we count the number of
decimal places we are rounding to then look to the right of that number to see if the next number
is 5 or more. If the number to the right of a number that is to be rounded is 5 or more, we add 1
or round up, if the number to the right is 4 or less of them we do not round the number it remain
as is.
When rounding off a number to a curtain number of significant figures we follow the same step
as in rounding off to decimals except we use the rules of significant figures to guide us.
