The essential concepts students need to demonstrate or understand to achieve the lesson objective
Suggestions for teachers to help them teach this lesson
You’ll want to avoid using terms like “round up” and “round down,” since these terms can be confusing for students. “Rounding up” a number results in a change in the value of the place to which you’re rounding, where “rounding down” does not. Often students will change the value mistakenly as a result.

Tasks designed to teach criteria for success of the lesson, and guidance to help draw out student understanding
25-30 minutes
a. The number 8.263 lies between 8 and 9 on the number line. Label all the other tick marks between 8 and 9 and then determine if 8.263 is closer to 8 or 9 on the number line.
b. Which tenth is 8.263 nearest to on the number line? Determine what values the two outermost spots on the number line below should be to help you determine which tenth 8.263 is closest to. Then plot 8.263 to prove your answer.
c. Which hundredth is 8.263 nearest to on the number line? Determine what values the two outermost spots on the number line below should be to help you determine which hundredth 8.263 is closest to. Then plot 8.263 to prove your answer.

Round each of the following values to the places mentioned. Record your answer with the “$$\approx$$" symbol.
a. 49.67 to the nearest whole and tenth
b. 9.935 to the nearest tenth and hundredth
c. 4.3816 to the nearest whole, tenth, hundredth, and thousandth
a. What do you notice about this image? What do you wonder?
b. The amount of sugar in a serving of this gum is a decimal number with two digits to the right of the decimal point. What is the greatest possible amount of sugar a serving of this gum can have?
c. Use your reasoning from Part (b) above to determine the greatest and the least value (to the thousandths place) that could round to 0.27.
