Fifth-grade students extend their understanding of place value by working with decimals to the thousandths place. Students at this grade have a deep understanding of place value and number sense, so they can explain and reason about rounded answers. Fifth-grade students round decimals to the nearest whole, tenth, and hundredths place. Students are expected to apply rounding while estimating an approximation and to determine the reasonableness of an answer.
