Mental Math
Give a whole-number estimate for these decimal addition problems. Show which whole numbers you used:
3.8 + 9.9 = EXAMPLE: 4 + 10 = 14
2.7 + 8.1 = 10.5 – 6.6 =
8.8 + 8.9 = 23.7 – 8.8 =
25.5 + 11.9 = 26.2 – 10.8 =

Math MessageTurn to a tablemate and describe two examples
in which decimals are used in real-life situations.

Trip Meters and Speedometers
What information would we get if it just showed whole numbers of miles traveled?
Decimals make it possible to have a more precise measurement of distance traveled. Below the
speedometer shows tenths of a mile.
Have you traveled closer to 45 miles or 46?

How do I round decimals?
• Rounding decimals are very similar to rounding whole numbers-the only difference is there is a decimal point!
• Look at the digit to the right of the place you are rounding
• Think about this poem
If it is 4 or less just ignore,
If it is 5 or more add one more!
![Page 8: 4.4 Estimating with Decimals](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813651550346895d9dd4a8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Rounding to the nearest tenth• Round to the nearest tenth
5.263– The number to the right of the 2 is a six.– Six is greater than five, so I need to add one more
the 2. The 2 becomes a 3 and everything after becomes a 0
– 5.263 rounded to the nearest tenth become 5.300 or 5.3

Rounding to the Nearest Hundredth
• Round to the nearest hundredth• Remember 4 or less just ignore, 5 or more
add one more!• 3.653 The number to the right of the 5 is
an 3. 3 is less than 4, so we just ignore-meaning the five in the hundredths place stays the same.
• The 5 stays the same and all the other numbers after it become zeros
The correct answer is: 3.650 or 3.65
