Overview:

In this interactive activity, students will be led through steps to change fractions to decimals, then put the decimal numbers in order by comparing their magnitude. Students will learn to compare two decimals to the hundredths place by reasoning about their size. There are teaching activities as well as practice activities available. There is a handout that reviews the strategies taught during the activity that can be printed. After utilizing this resource, the students can complete the short quiz to assess their understanding.

4. Read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths.

a. Read and write decimals to thousandths using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form.

Example: 347.392 = 3 × 100 + 4 × 10 + 7 × 1 + 3 × (1/10) + 9 × (1/100) + 2 × (1/1000).

b. Compare two decimals to thousandths based on the meaning of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < to record the results of comparisons.

Evidence Of Student Attainment:
Students:
  • Given a decimal number in one form (words, base-ten numerals, expanded), identify the number in another form.
  • Read decimals with number names.

    • Example: Read 4.023 as "four and 23 thousandths."
  • Write decimals using base-ten numerals and expanded form.

    • Example: 4.023 as 4 x 1 + 2 x 1/100 + 3 x 1/1000 or 4 x 1 + 2 x 0.01 + 3 x 0.001.
  • Use place value understanding to compare two decimals.
Teacher Vocabulary:
  • Compare
  • Decimal
  • Thousandths
  • Hundredths
  • Tenths
  • Symbol
  • Greater than
  • Less than
  • Equal
  • Place value strategy
  • Expanded form
  • Expanded notation
Knowledge:
Students know:
  • How to read and write whole numbers in standard form, word form, and expanded form.
  • How to compare two whole numbers using place value understanding.
  • Prior place value understanding with whole numbers is extended and applied to decimal values.
  • Recognize and model decimal place value using visual representations to compare.
Skills:
Students are able to:
  • Read and write decimal values in word form, standard form, and expanded form.
  • Compare decimals to thousandths using <, >, or = .
Understanding:
Students understand that:
  • the adjacent place value relationship in the base ten system extends to decimals and is used to write decimals in expanded form and compare decimals.
