In the 'Max Maths' workbook for Year 6 students, there is a section dedicated to revising the concepts of rounding numbers and ordering decimals. Practice 3 focuses on these key mathematical skills, essential for understanding number placement and value. The exercise begins with rounding off decimals to the nearest whole number. It presents a series of decimal values, such as 3.49, 1.26, 11.78, and 0.27, and prompts students to approximate each to the closest whole number. This helps to strengthen their number sense and ability to estimate.

The next task requires students to round off decimals to the nearest tenth, providing further practice in precision. Examples such as 0.65, 0.07, 7.29, and 6.14 are given for learners to round accordingly. Following the rounding exercises, the workbook shifts focus to comparing and ordering decimals. Students are asked to identify the greater decimal in pairs, such as 5.9 versus 5.7 and 4.42 versus 4.44, among others. The final activity challenges them to arrange a set of decimals in descending order, reinforcing their understanding of decimal values and their comparisons. These tasks are designed to build confidence in handling decimals and to prepare students for more complex mathematical operations involving decimal numbers.
