Before the holiday we looked at rounding decimals.

Here is a video on rounding decimals.It is lesson 1 on week 2. https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-5/

Look at the nutrition information for a food or drink that you have in your home. Can you round the numbers to the nearest whole number?

eg. PROTEIN 5.8g rounds to 6g

Extension- If these numbers were already rounded to the nearest tenth- what could the original value have been?

eg. PROTEIN 5.8g could have been 5.82g before being rounded
