What is the purpose of drawing a line after the decimal point?

• To separate the whole number from the decimal

• To help remember the rounding rule

• To add clarity to the number

• To make the number look neat

If the number after the line is 5 or higher, what should you do?

• Round the whole number up

• Keep the whole number the same

Why is the number 5 considered closer to rounding up?

• Because it is less than 4

• Because it is closer to 9 than to 0
