Lesson Details
Key learning points
- To compare two numbers, you compare digits with the same place value, starting with the largest place-value digit
- If the whole numbers and tenths are the same, look at the value of the hundredths digit to compare and order
Common misconception
A number with more digits after the decimal point is greater than a number with fewer digits.
Create the numbers using place value counters or base 10 blocks and re-iterate the magnitude of each digit within the number.
