MATH 6: Round

Decimal through Ten

Thousandths.
 DRILL
a:. Call 21 volunteer pupils and group them into 3.
b. Provide each group with number cards from 0 to 5
and a decimal point.
0 . 1 2 3 4 5
c. Each group will form the number given by the
teacher.
Example: I am a 5-digit number. My tenths digit is
twice my hundredths digit, abd my ones digit is the
sum of my tenths and ten thousandths digit. My
thousandths digit is a place value holder… ( 5.
d. The4201

Valuing: Who do you think will offer the first handshake after the game?
Why? If you were the winner/loser in a game, what will
you do?
REVIEW: Relay
Game. place value of the underlined digit.
Identifying
Mechanics:
• Teacher will prepare decimal number cards with an
underlined digit.
• As the teacher flashes the number, the first pupil in a row
will write his answer on a piece of paper as the group’s
answer sheet.
• He then pass it to his teammate next to him for his answer
to the number flashed by the teacher.
• As soon as the last pupil in a row has written his answer,
he then submits their answer sheet to the teacher for
checking.
• The group with the most number of correct answers wins.

 MOTIVATION

What percent of molecules of carbon dioxide present

in the earth’s atmosphere?
 PRESENTATION
“Of the 100% total molecules present composition of
the Earth’s atmosphere, only 0.0352 percent is
carbon dioxide.”

a. What number is closest to 0.0352? Why? Why not?

b. What are the other possible numbers closest to 0.0352?
c. What are the rules in rounding off decimal numbers?
PERFORMING THE
ACTIVITIES
“Of the 100% total molecules present composition of the
Earth’s atmosphere, only 0.0352 percent is carbon
dioxide.”

Model A Model B
a. In model A, carbon dioxide (CO2) the molecule present in the
atmosphere is 0.035. Is it most likely to 0.0352 from the given
example?
Answer: YES.Why?
Because 0.035 is already rounded to nearest
thousandths.
b. How about in model B, CO2 is 0.04? Why?
Answer: YES. Because 0.04 is rounded to nearest hundredths.
Solution to the problem.
a. 0.0352 round to the nearest
thousandths.
Step 1
Look at the place value at the right
of the number the digit to be
rounded.
Check the digit to its right, if it is
0.0 3 5 2 Step 2 less than 5, round it down…
retain the rounded digit. If it is
Round 5 and above, round up…add 1
down to the digit to be rounded.

Cancel all the digit/s to the right

Step 3
of the rounded digit.

SUMMARIZING THE LESSON

To round decimal numbers:
 Look at the place value at the right of the number the
digit to be rounded.
 Check the digit to its right, if it is less than 5, round
it down…retain the digit to be rounded. If it is 5 and
above, round up…add 1 to the digit to be rounded.
 Cancel all the digits to the right of the rounded digit.
