Rounding and Place Value Concepts

This video tutorial explains how to round decimal numbers to a specified place value. It begins with an introduction to the concept of rounding and then provides two examples: one rounding to the nearest 100th place and another to the nearest 10th place. The tutorial breaks down the process into clear steps, helping viewers understand how to identify the place value and decide whether to round up or down based on the digit to the right of the target place value.
