Decimals - Compare Decimals - Worksheet

The 'Compare Decimals' worksheet is designed to enhance children's understanding of decimal numbers, particularly focusing on comparing decimals up to two decimal places. The exercises encourage students to apply their grasp of place value and the significance of zero as a placeholder in these comparisons. The worksheet provides a place value grid with an extra row to clearly differentiate the decimal number, helping students visually compare which decimal is larger. The tasks involve writing decimals and using comparison symbols (greater than, less than, or equal to) to compare values in the ones, tenths, and hundredths places.

This activity not only reinforces their understanding of place value but also their attention to detail. The 'Reasoning & Problem Solving' section presents a challenge where students use digit cards to create the smallest or largest possible numbers, fostering their strategic thinking and problem-solving skills. The worksheet offers a variety of tasks to solidify students' ability to compare decimal numbers accurately and confidently.
