Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

E.g. 1. Explain the rule for of rounding decimals, which is similar to that of rounding whole numbers. That is, rounding to the nearest tenth means that the rounded figure has one digit after the decimal mark. Rounding to the nearest hundredth means that the rounded figure has two digits after the decimal mark
E.g. 2. Use a table with several decimals fractions and explain the rule for of rounding decimals. Give pupils a table of decimal fractions to round to the nearest tenths or hundredths
