Rounding Decimals to the Nearest Tenth and Hundredth is a Grade 5 mathematics worksheet that helps students round decimals to either the tenths or hundredths place. It includes 10 questions: 8 multiple-choice items and 2 fill-in-the-blank items using decimals such as 8.27, 45.833, 0.337, and 43.837. Students identify the required place, inspect the digit immediately to its right, and determine whether the target digit stays the same or increases by one. This free printable worksheet gives students focused practice with both tenths and hundredths rounding, including decimals that require careful attention to place value and equivalent forms such as 55.2 and 55.20. Use it for independent practice, a quick check for understanding, homework, or review after direct instruction. A complete answer key is included to support efficient checking and feedback.

This Grade 5 worksheet focuses on rounding decimals to the nearest tenth and hundredth through 8 multiple-choice questions and 2 fill-in-the-blank questions. Students must identify the requested place, examine the digit to its right, and record the rounded value, including equivalent forms such as 55.2 and 55.20.
Before students begin, model one tenth example and one hundredth example by circling the target place and underlining the digit immediately to its right. Then have students explain why values such as 8.27 become 8.3 and 9.715 becomes 9.72, using the worksheet’s multiple-choice items for discussion before assigning the fill-in-the-blank items independently.
Watch for students looking at the target digit instead of the digit immediately to its right, especially when switching between tenths and hundredths. Students may also choose 45.830 instead of recognizing its equivalent value as 45.83, or fail to increase the hundredths digit when the next digit requires rounding up, as in 0.337 and 43.837.
The worksheet is available on Wayground as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz, and it includes a complete answer key for all 10 rounding items. For printable submissions, you can scan student work with the Wayground for Teachers app to support faster grading.
Because this worksheet uses short decimal expressions, adjust font spacing and font size to make the tenths and hundredths places easier to track, or enable a dyslexia-friendly font for students who benefit from that format. These options, along with translating the worksheet into another language, are available under the worksheet’s Advanced Settings.
