Rounding Decimals Game

Rounding Decimals Bingo is a game that can be used to help students learn how to round decimal numbers to a specific number of decimal places. The game is played on a bingo board, with each square on the board containing a decimal number. The teacher calls out decimal numbers, and students mark off the corresponding square on their bingo board. The goal of the game is to be the first player to fill a complete row or column on the bingo board by correctly rounding the decimal numbers called out. This can be a fun and interactive way to help students practise their skills and improve their understanding of rounding decimals.
