This engaging set of worksheets is designed to help students practise their decimal comparison skills. Through various tasks—including using comparison symbols, ordering decimals, and interpreting visual decimal grids—students will develop a deeper understanding of decimal place value, tenths, and hundredths.

How to Complete:

1. Section 1: Write the Correct Symbol

Students compare pairs of decimals by looking at the tenths and hundredths places and write the correct comparison symbol between them.

2. Section 2: Arrange the Decimals in Ascending Order

Students place given decimals in order from smallest to largest, reinforcing their understanding of decimal sequences and comparison.

3. Section 3: Compare Worded Decimals

Students write the correct comparison symbol between pairs of worded decimals, encouraging them to understand decimal equivalence and how to rename decimals using tenths and hundredths.

4. Section 4: Circle the Decimal Grid

Students must identify which grid shows the larger decimal value by comparing the shaded parts.

5. Section 5: Colour the Decimal Grid

Students shade a blank hundreds grid to represent a decimal value between those from the previous section, reinforcing their understanding of place value.

Additional Tips:

1. Before completing the worksheet, review place value charts with students to ensure they understand tenths and hundredths.
2. Encourage students to explain their reasoning, especially when comparing decimals or shading grids.
3. Use real-world examples, such as money or measurements, to help students connect decimals to practical situations.

Extension Ideas:

1. Partner Up: Ask students to create their own comparison problems using worded decimals or grids, then exchange with a partner to solve.
2. Number Line Challenge: Challenge students to create a set of decimals and place them on a number line.
