  5. What Do I Mean Compare Decimals? • When we compare we use terms such as: • Less than < • Greater than > • Equal to = • Comparing decimals is similar to comparing whole numbers. • 45<47 • 150>105 • When we compare decimals we use place value or a number line. Next Page

  6. Place Value Next Page Hundreds Ones Thousands Tens Tenths Hundredths Thousandths Ten-thousandths

  7. Half pipe Results • Compare Sara’s score with Danny’s score. • Line Up Decimal Points • Sara: 42.1 • Danny: 42.5 • Start at the left and find the first place where the digits differ. Compare the digits • 1<5 • 42.1<42.5 • This means Sara’s score was lower than Danny’s score. Next Page

  8. Half pipe Results • Who had the lowest score? • Line Up Decimal Points • Sara: 42.1 • Danny: 42.5 • Start at the left and find the first place where the digits differ. Compare the digits • 1<5 • 42.1<42.5 • This means Sara’s score was lower than Danny’s score. Next Page

  9. Let’s Try Using A Number Line 42.0 42.1 42.5 Numbers to the right are greater than numbers to the left. Since 42.5 is to the right of 42.1 we have: 42.5>42.1 Next Page

  10. Equivalent Decimals • Decimals that name the same number are called equivalent decimals. • 0.60 and 0.6 • Are these the same??? Next Page

  11. = 0.60 0.6 Next Page

  12. Annexing Zeros • This means placing a zero to the right of the last digit in a decimal. • 0.6 0.60 • Although we added a zero, the value of the decimal did not change!! • Annexing or adding zeros is useful when ordering a group of decimals. Next Page

  13. Ordering Decimals • We can order decimals from least to greatest or we can order from greatest to least. • Let’s try an example: • Order 15, 14.95, 15.8, and 15.01 from smallest to greatest • 15 • 14.95 • 15.8 • 15.01 Next Page

  14. 15, 14.95, 15.8, 15.01 • First, line up the decimal points 15 14.95 15.8 15.01 Next Page

  15. 15, 14.95, 15.8, 15.01 • Next, annex zeros so that each number has the same number of decimal places 15.00 14.95 15.80 15.01 Next Page

  16. 15, 14.95, 15.8, 15.01 • Finally, use place value to compare the decimals. Always start from the left!! 15.00 14.95 15.80 15.01 • 14.95, 15, 15.01, 15.8 = badc Next Page

  17. One More Example • Order these numbers from greatest to least • 35.06 • 35.7 • 35.5 • 35.849 Next Page
