Ordering and Comparing Decimals

Today we are learning to order and compare decimals. Below is a place value grid showing ones and tenths. Because ones have a greater value than tenths any number in the ones column will have a greater value than any number in the tenths column.

In the example below, 2 ones have a greater value than 6 tenths:

We can determine the value of a number by looking where the digits are on the place value grid. In the example below, three decimal numbers are represented on the place value grid. Although there looks to be many more place value counters for 8.68 and 8.59 compared to 10.21, these numbers have a lower value because there are no tens. When comparing 8.68 and 8.59, 8.59 has the same amount of ones and more hundredths but it has fewer tenths so it has a smaller value.

Fluency 5!

A While Ago…

Sue has 200 chocolate buttons. On Monday she eats one fifth of the chocolates. On Tuesday, she eats one half of the rest. How many chocolate buttons are left?

The greater than and less than symbols can be used to compare numbers. Watch this video to remember how to use them- remember to imagine the symbols as alligator jaws- they always

eat the bigger number! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6Efzu2slaI

In the place value grid below we are going to compare the three numbers. We always begin by looking at the highest value column, which in this case is the tens column. The number with the fewest tens is 35.03 so this is the smallest number. The other numbers have the same number of tens (7) so we need to look at the next column to the right. They also have the same number of ones (6) so again we need to look at the next column to the right, which is the tenths. 76.3 has 3 tenths and 76.41 has 4 tenths so 76.3 is the next smallest number and 76.41 is the largest number.

There is no new topic work for today as I’m sure some of you will still be busy building some amazing, creative spaceships!

For those of you who have completed your week’s topic project, here are some ideas of things you could do:

Spelling Review.

Can you remember how to write these words in the plural? Did you use these rules?

Music.

What are pulse and rhythm? You will remember doing this last year when you did Stomp in music lessons. Watch the two films and then compose your own piece of music using body percussion. Remember to have a regular pulse and then add some different rhythms. Maybe you could ask the rest of your family to join in? https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zcbkcj6/articles/z2mqw6f

For this you need a solid chair and you need to gently lower your body up and down using your arms and keeping

legs straight.
