Order Decimals on a Number Line 4-120
Build number sense with decimals by comparing decimals to each other and to benchmark numbers like .25, .5, .75, and 1.00. Which is greater, .13 or .5? Fraction notation can make comparing easier. Since .13 = 13/100 and .5 = 5/10 = 50/100, compare 13/100 and 50/100. 13/100 < 50/100 so .13 is less than .5.
