🧭 Teacher Notes & Learning Goals

I can... round decimals to the nearest tenth, hundredth, and whole number and apply rounding to real-world contexts (money, distance, weight, temperature).

Success criteria: I can identify which place to round to, look at the next digit, apply the “5 or more, give it more” rule, and write the rounded answer correctly with appropriate units (¢, $, miles, lbs, °F).

Differentiation strategies: Provide number lines or place-value charts for learners who need visual support; offer step-by-step guided practice and one-on-one checks for students who need extra scaffolding.

Extension activities: Challenge advanced learners to round a set of measurements to different places and compare how rounding affects totals (e.g., sum of rounded values vs. rounded sum).

Dyslexia-friendly reading options: Read problems aloud, use larger font and increased spacing (teacher copy), highlight key numbers and the place value to round, and allow oral responses or use assistive text-to-speech tools.
