This resource is designed to help students apply their knowledge of numbers with more than 2 decimal places in practical contexts. The worksheets focus on financial calculations, measurement-based problems, and data comparisons, reinforcing decimal skills in everyday scenarios.

How to Complete:

1. Section 1: Students will solve money-related problems, including rounding prices, calculating totals, and determining change.
2. Section 2: Students will apply decimal rounding and operations to measurement problems, such as lengths, times, and distances.
3. Section 3: Students will work with scientific and statistical data, rounding values and comparing decimal numbers.

Additional Tips:

1. Use real-life examples, such as shopping receipts or sports scores, to demonstrate the importance of decimal accuracy.
2. Encourage students to estimate their answers before solving to reinforce number sense.
3. Discuss how rounding affects precision and when an exact or estimated answer is more appropriate.

Extension Ideas:

1. Budget Challenge: Have students create a shopping list, round prices, and calculate estimated and actual totals.
2. Measurement Investigations: Ask students to measure classroom objects and record their lengths to different decimal places.
3. Scientific Data Comparison: Provide real-world data, such as weather temperatures or athlete speeds, and have students round and compare values.
