decimal Numbers that have digits in the tenths place and beyond.
standard form The usual way to write a number. Example: 321
Expanded form The sum of the products of each digit and its place value. Example: (3 x 100) + (2 x 10) + (1 x ) = 321

the traditional way to round decimals Underline the digit you are rounding to, look to the right. If the number to the right is greater than 5, add 1 to the underlined digit. If it is not, leave the underlined digit alone. Drop all digits after the rounded digit.
clustering A way to round decimals to estimate sums of a lot of addends. If all of the addends are close to the same number, make all of the addends the same number.
front-end estimation A way to round decimals for estimating sums or differences. Use only the numbers in the first or first and second place value. Example 192 + 373 = 100 + 300.
