(The pupils will say present.)

B. Preparatory Activities

“I have here a flashcards , I will flash it to you

and all you need to do is to read the following
decimals.”

0.25 0.46 0.82 0.7483 0.3912

Review

“ Last time we discussed about place value ,

right?” “Yes Ma’am”
“Alright who can read and give the place value “Pupils will raise their hands”
 of the underline digit?”

1. 0.43 “forty three tenths, the underline digit is 4

its place value is tenths.”
2. 5.638 “five and six hundred thirty eight
thousandths, the underline digit is 6 its
place value is tenths.”
3. 0.754
“seven hundred fifty four thousandths, the
underline digit is 4 its place value is
4. 11.081
thousandths.”
“eleven and eighty one thousandths , the
5. 54.635 underline digit is 8 its place value is
hundredths.”
“forty three and six hundred thirty five
thousandths, the underline digit is 4 its
place value is ones.”

C. Developmental Activities

Analysis

“Who can read the problem on the board?”

A roll of rope is 0.435 dm long. It is divided

equally into sections of 0.1535 dm. How can
we round 0.435 to the nearest hundredths and
0.1535 to the nearest thousandths.

(The pupils will raise their hands and the

chosen pupil will read the problem.)
“ Thank you, so in what hundredths is 0.435
nearest?”
“Its 0.44, we can round up and down.”

“ When we round off 0.1535 to the nearest

thousandths the answer is 0.154”

“ To round a decimal number,

1. Determine first the rounding place.
2. 2. Look at the digit to the right of the rounding
place. If it is less than 5 round down. If it is 5
or more, round up.”
3.
4.
5. “Do you understand class?”
 “Yes Ma’am”
“ Okay, now who can round off 8.4345 to the
nearest tenths?” “8.4”
“How about nearest hundredths?”
“Now, to the nearest thousandths?”
“8.43”
“Very good everyone!” “8.435”

Abstraction

“ Class, you already know how to round off

decimals right?
“Yes Ma’am”
“What is the rule in rounding decimals?”
“ To round a decimal number,
1. Determine first the rounding place.
2. Look at the digit to the right of the
rounding place. If it is less than 5 round
down. If it is 5 or more, round up.”

“Very well said.”

“ When the digit to the right of the rounding

place is greater than 5, what will you do?”
“Add 1 to the digit in the rounding place.”

“What if it is less than 5?”

“Retain the digit in the rounding place and
do not forget to drop all the digits after the
“Very good, it simply shows that you listen to
our discussion today.” rounding place.”

“Is there any questions and clarifications?”

“None”
Application

“Who can round off the following?”

(Pupils raise their hands)
1. 6.540
2. 7.35
3. 0.3892
4. 0.055
5. 0.64

( Call on the names of the pupils that will

answer.)
(The pupils answer it to the board.)

1. 6.54
2. 7.4
 3. 0.389
4. 0.06
5. 0.6
“Very good, all your answers are correct!”
