Identify the next and previous tenths to the number being rounded
Identify which tenth is nearest to the number being rounded
If the value of the hundredths is 5 or greater then round up to the next tenth
If the value of the hundredths is less than 5, ignore the hundredths and round down to the previous tenth

When recording which multiple of 0.1 a number is nearest to, pupils may forget to include the ones.

Make sure pupils have plenty of opportunities to continue counting and rounding with multiples of 0.1 beyond one whole.

Multiple - A multiple is the result of multiplying a number by an integer. For example 2 × 5 = 10 so 10 is a multiple of 2 and 5.
Previous - Something that comes before something else is known as the previous thing.
Next - Something that comes after something else is known as the next thing.
Rounding - Rounding means making a number simpler but keeping its value close to what it was.
