 * Learning Goals **

My learning goal for decimals is: 1) To get better at rounding decimals

To achieve my learning goal, I must learn: How to round decimals

To acquire that knowledge, I will use: My teacher, textbook, the internet and my friends

To determine whether I have achieved that goal, I will: Be able to show people how to do it

To demonstrate that I have achieved my goal(s), I will: Provide evidence

To round decimals all you have to do is go to the last digit and either round it up or down. You round down if the number is 0,1,2,3,4, and up if it is 5,6,7,8,9. When you are rounding upwards you round it up so that it adds to the next digit to the left and moves it up by 1. For example if you were to round 0.27 you would round the 7 up into the 2 so that the 2 would become 3, the final answer being 0.3. When you are rounding downwards you do pretty much the same thing, you round it down so becomes part of the next digit to the left, except it doesn't change it, the digit stays the same. For example 0.73 would just become 0.7 If you need to round to a certain amount of decimal places you do the same process but continue on until you reach the required amount of decimal places. For example if you wanted to round 3.475826 to 3 places it would become 3.467
