Compare two decimals to hundredths and express the result using =. >, < symbols. The worksheet includes comparison by using place value charts and number lines, before moving on to direct comparison. Students must be exposed to several scenarios to ward off against any misconceptions. For example, comparing 0.4 and 0.36 on a place chart will help them understand that the decimal with more number of digits is not necessarily greater. Compare Decimals Less than 1 Worksheet only deals with decimal numbers less than 1.
