5th Grade
For example:
3.7 is three and seven tenths
3.07 is three and seven hundredths
3.007 is three and seven thousandths
We will compare numbers with decimals through the thousandths place. Two strategies that I have taught students is to use an open number line and/or to line up the place value positions to make the comparison.
67.34 ______ 67.43
Line up place value positions
67.34
67.43
You can see that the tens place and the ones place has the same value. In the tenths place there is a difference: 3 tenths < 4 tenths, so 67.34 < 67.43.
.89 ______ .890 are equal because the tenths place and hundredths place have the same value. If you annex, add a zero, to the end of eighty-nine hundredths, there will be three digits. Students can analyze the numbers better. .890 = .890
We will continue with decimals next week.
Have a great weekend!
