    Comparing and Ordering

    Decimals
    5th Grade Math

    By: Kellea McGehee


    The purpose of today’s lesson is to:

     Compare decimals
    Ex: 2.4 > 2.04

     Order decimals
    1.02, 1.25, 1.50 (least to greatest)
    1.50, 1.25, 1.02 (greatest to least)
    Reviewing Place Values

    To the hundredths place!

    Hundreds Tens Ones Tenths Hundredths

    0 0 7 2 9
    How do we say this in words?
    Reading Decimals
    Decimals to the hundredths place value!

    In words, 7.29 is seven and twenty-nine hundredths


    Reviewing Place Values

    To the Thousandths Place!

    Hundreds Tens Ones Tenths Hundredths Thousandths

    0 6 3 1 7 4

    How do we say this in words?


    Lets take a look…
    Reading Decimals
    Decimals to the thousandths place:

    In words, 63.174 is sixty-three and one hundred


    seventy-four thousandths.
    Reading Decimals

    2.4 =
    Two and four tenths

    2.04 =
    Two and four hundredths

    2.004 =
    Two and four thousandths
    Comparing Decimals

    How does this work?


    Comparing Decimals
     Step 1: Line up the decimal points
     Step 2: Find the first place where the digits differ
     Step3: Compare the differing digits
     Step 4: Use <, >, or = to state your answer
    Comparing Decimals
    How do we compare decimals:

    Example :
     Line up the decimal points 68.563
    68.5603
     Starting at the left, find the first
    place the digits differ
     Compare the digits 3>0
     Since 3 > 0 68.563 > 68.5603
    (three is greater than zero)
    Comparing Decimals: Practice
    Use >, <, or = to compare each pair of decimals.

     Practice:  Answer:
    4.08 4.060 4.08 > 4.060

     Practice: Answer:
    50.030 50.031 50.030 < 50.031
