Comparing Decimals - PowerPoint

This collection of maths teaching resources is designed to help Year 4 students understand and compare decimal numbers. Through a series of worksheets, students are encouraged to write down decimals as represented by place value charts and use comparison signs such as greater than (>), less than (<), and equals (=) to compare the values. For example, they might be presented with two decimals like 2.61 and 2.75 and asked to determine which is larger. The resources aim to develop students' understanding of decimal place values and their ability to compare decimal numbers accurately.

The worksheets increase in complexity, from simple comparisons to filling in gaps to create correct sentences. For instance, students may be asked to complete place value charts to make the given statements true, such as ensuring that a number is greater than 2.37 or less than 0.51. In addition to comparison tasks, there are exercises where students are challenged to create the greatest or smallest possible number from a given set of digits, further enhancing their numerical reasoning skills. These engaging activities are designed to make learning about decimals interactive and enjoyable for students.
