About Ordering Decimals
What this skill is
Ordering decimals requires aligning place values across multiple numbers with varying numbers of digits after the decimal point.
When children learn it
Taught in 4th and 5th grade as part of decimal number sense and measurement ordering (CCSS 5.NBT.A.3.b).
Teaching Tips
- Stack the numbers vertically on graph paper with decimal points in a straight line. Fill in blank spots with zeros so all numbers have the same number of decimal digits, then compare from left to right.
Common Mistakes
- Ordering by total number of digits rather than value of tenths and hundredths.
- Misreading instructions and ordering greatest to least instead of least to greatest.
- Losing track of decimal points when writing numbers in sequence.
