This teaching slides resource introduces students to comparing and ordering decimals to 2 decimal places, using a place value chart to build understanding of how to compare each digit from left to right.
Slides establish the strategy of comparing decimals digit by digit using a place value chart, and also introduce using a number line to compare decimals. Guided examples walk through the reasoning step by step before students move into practice slides using > , < or = and ordering sets of decimals from smallest to largest.
