Free Rounding Decimals to the Nearest Hundredth Worksheet
Build confidence with decimal rounding practice
Rounding decimals to the nearest hundredth is an important step in helping students strengthen their place value skills. Once learners understand tenths, hundredths, and thousandths, they can decide whether a decimal should stay the same or round up based on the digit to the right. This free Rounding Decimals to the Nearest Hundredth Worksheet gives students focused practice with that exact skill in a clean, easy-to-follow format.
What students do on this worksheet
On this worksheet, students round each decimal to the nearest hundredth. To do that, they look at the thousandths digit and decide whether the hundredths digit stays the same or increases by one. This repeated practice helps students become more comfortable with decimal place value and more confident when working with multi-digit decimals.
Ways to use this worksheet
Because the worksheet focuses on one skill, it works well in a variety of settings.
Teachers can use it for:
-
whole-class instruction
-
independent practice

Parents can also use it at home for extra decimal practice. Keeping the page focused on one skill helps students build accuracy without feeling distracted by mixed directions.
Best grade levels for this worksheet
This worksheet is a strong fit for 5th grade and 6th grade math, especially for students who are moving beyond rounding to the nearest tenth and are ready for a more detailed decimal task. It also works well as review for students who need extra practice identifying which place value controls the rounding decision.
A helpful reminder for students
Before students begin, it helps to review the rounding rule:
-
Look at the hundredths place because that is the place you are rounding to.
-
Look at the thousandths place to decide what to do.
-
If the thousandths digit is 5 or more, round the hundredths digit up.
-
If the thousandths digit is 4 or less, keep the hundredths digit the same.
A quick example at the top of the page can help the process feel much clearer.
