Perusing Decimal
decimals · reading and comparing decimal numbers
To read decimal numbers.
Perusing Decimal is a Grade 6 decimal game for reading and comparing decimal numbers. Players work with card-generated values, interpret the place value of each digit, and compare decimals to decide which value is greater or how the numbers should be ordered. The changing numbers require students to read beyond the decimal point carefully rather than compare only the whole-number part.
Use it for partner or small-group review when students are strengthening decimal place-value language and comparison skills. Ask students to justify a comparison by naming the first place where the digits differ. Create a free Find a Math Game account to generate teacher-ready lesson support for Perusing Decimal.
