Ordering Decimals Flashcards

The position of a digit in a decimal number determines its value, e.g., tenths, hundredths, thousandths.

To compare decimals, align the decimal points and compare digits from left to right.

When ordering decimals, write the numbers in a column with decimal points aligned.

You can add zeros to the end of a decimal without changing its value, e.g., 0.5 = 0.50.

Arranging numbers from largest to smallest.

Align the decimal points of all numbers.

Compare digits in each place value column, starting from the left.

If digits are the same, move to the next column to the right until a difference is found.

Always check for trailing zeros and ensure all numbers have the same number of decimal places for easier comparison.
