Decimal Order

Decimal Order is a Grade 5 game for comparing and ordering decimals to the hundredths place. Card draws create decimal numbers by assigning digits to tens, ones, tenths, and hundredths, then students compare the numbers and record their order. Building the decimals themselves keeps place value at the center of the comparison.

Use it with a small group or team when students need practice reading decimal structure before applying greater-than and less-than language. Listen for whether students compare corresponding places rather than relying on the number of digits. Create a free Find a Math Game account to generate the lesson for Decimal Order.
