Ordering and comparing decimals quiz

The objective of the Y5 Decimals 3 quiz is to enhance students' ability to order and compare decimals up to three decimal places. This essential numeracy skill is key for Year 5 pupils and is a fundamental part of their mathematical development. The quiz comprises a series of questions where students are required to use their understanding of place value to compare pairs of decimal numbers and determine the correct mathematical symbol—less than (<), equal to (=), or greater than (>)—to place between them.

For example, one question presents the numbers 34.034 and 34.304, and students must decide which symbol correctly compares these two decimals. Additionally, the quiz challenges students to arrange sets of decimal numbers in both ascending and descending order, thus testing their ability to recognise and interpret decimal place values in a practical context. The quiz concludes with a complete answer key, allowing students to check their responses and understand their mistakes, thereby reinforcing their learning and building confidence in handling decimal numbers.
