SOL 5.1 Rounding Decimals is a Grade 5 mathematics worksheet that helps students round decimal numbers to the nearest whole number, tenth, and hundredth. Across 15 items, students select correct rounded values, identify which original decimal produces a target rounded value, evaluate a student’s rounding, complete a rounding statement, and select all values that round to the same tenth. Word problems involving height, weight, money, and volume connect decimal rounding to practical measurements and quantities. This resource is useful for introducing or reinforcing the place-value reasoning behind decimal rounding. Students must identify the requested place, inspect the digit immediately to its right, and choose or produce the correctly rounded value. The worksheet includes 13 multiple-choice questions, one fill-in-the-blank item, and one multiple-select question. It is a free printable worksheet with a complete answer key for independent practice, classwork, homework, or a quick check of Grade 5 rounding skills.

This Grade 5 math worksheet develops decimal-rounding skills through 15 items covering the nearest whole number, tenth, and hundredth. Its 13 multiple-choice, one fill-in-the-blank, and one multiple-select question require students to round given decimals, identify numbers that produce a target rounded value, and apply rounding in measurement, money, and quantity contexts.
Before assigning the worksheet, model how to locate the requested place and use the digit immediately to its right to decide whether the value stays the same or increases. Then work through one direct item, such as rounding to a tenth or hundredth, and one real-world item involving height, weight, money, or gallons. Use the student-rounding and select-all-that-apply questions to prompt students to explain why each option is or is not correct.
Students may look at the wrong digit, such as using the hundredths digit when rounding to the nearest tenth, or confuse the place being rounded with the digit that controls the decision. They may also select a decimal with the wrong precision, overlook that a multiple-select item can have more than one correct answer, or round a number in a word problem without matching the requested place value.
