Fascinating Fact:

When estimating a journey, rounding the distance from 47.3 miles to 50 helps you plan fuel, snacks, and bathroom breaks more easily.

In 11 Plus Maths, rounding is used to simplify numbers and improve estimation skills. Pupils learn to round to whole numbers, decimal places, or significant figures, depending on the situation.

  • Estimate: An approximate value based on rounding or reasonable judgement.
  • Significant Figure: A digit that shows the accuracy of a number, starting from the first non-zero digit.
  • Decimal Place: The position of a number after the decimal point, showing fractions of a whole.
How do you round numbers when estimating?

When estimating, round each number to one that is simple to calculate with, such as to the nearest ten or hundred. This makes mental maths faster and easier.

What does rounding to one decimal place mean?

Rounding to one decimal place means keeping only one digit after the decimal point. For example, 6.47 rounded to one decimal place becomes 6.5.

How is rounding used in travel planning or finance?

Rounding helps estimate fuel costs, travel time, and budgets. It’s also used in money management, such as rounding to the nearest pound for quick totals.
