Compare and Order
Decimals
*We will know how to compare and
order decimals by looking at the digits
in each place value position, OR by
using a number line.
Which is greater, 0.5 or 0.25?
1) Line up decimal points
2) Starting at the left,
compare the digits in
each place-value
position.
3) 0.5 is greater than
0.25
0.50
0.25
Remember
line up
decimal point
Which is greater, 0.5 or 0.25?
1) Use a number line. Graph each number.
On a number line, numbers to the
RIGHT are greater than numbers to
the LEFT.
Therefore, 0.5 is greater than 0.25.

Order from least to greatest.
1) Line up decimals.
0.3 0.520 0.08
2) Compare from the
left until the digits
are different.
3) 0.08 0.3 0.520

0.520
0.08
OR, graph on
a number
line.
Order from least to greatest.
Make sure
