Lesson Plans on Comparing Decimals

What Are Two Effective Lesson Plans On Comparing Decimals?

Comparing decimals can be challenging for children because they have to look at numbers in a new way and have a strong understanding of place value. The following lessons plans on comparing decimals can help your students become stronger with this skill.

  • Give your students a short lesson on how to compare decimals and then give each of them a card with a decimal written down. They have to put themselves in order without speaking. You can extend this activity by letting them write their own decimals.
  • Make a decimal number line and let your students use the number line to put the decimals in numerical order. The number line should be divided into units hundredths or thousandths. You may want to make it a couple of tenths long and choose decimals that fit that spectrum. Visualizing decimals on a number line will especially help your visual learners.
