number line.
SHOULD:- be able to state whether a
decimal is large or smaller than another up to
three decimal places
COULD:- to be able to order decimals
Decimals on a number line
Comparing decimals
Which number is bigger:
1.72 or 1.702?
To compare two decimal numbers, look at each digit in order
from left to right:
1.72
1.702
These
The
2 is
digits
bigger
arethan
the same.
the 0 so:
1.72 > 1.702
Comparing decimals
Which number is bigger:
2.53 or 2.523?
To compare two decimal numbers, look at each digit in order
from left to right:
2.53
2.523
These
The 3 is
digits
bigger
arethan
the same.
the 2 so:
2.53 > 2.523
Comparing decimals
Which measurement is
bigger:
5.36 kg or 5371 g?
To compare two measurements, first write both
measurements using the same units.
We can convert the grams to kilograms by dividing
by 1000:
5371 g = 5.371 kg
Comparing decimals
Which measurement is
bigger:
5.36 kg or 5.371 kg?
Next, compare the two decimal numbers by looking at each
digit in order from left to right:
5.36
5.371
These
The
7 is
digits
bigger
arethan
the same.
the 6 so:
5.36 < 5.371

Ordering decimals
Write these decimals in order from smallest to largest:
4.67
4.717
4.77
4.73
4.7
4.70
4.07
To order these decimals we must compare the digits in
Thesame
correct
order is:
the
position,
starting from the left.
The digits in the unit positions are the same, so this does
4.07
4.7
4.717
4.73
4.77
not
help. 4.67
Looking at the first decimal place tells us that 4.07 is the
smallest followed by 4.67
Looking at the second decimal place of the remaining
numbers tells us that 4.7 is the smallest followed by 4.717,
4.73 and 4.77.

Rational numbers
a
b
Any number that can be written in the form
(where a and b
are integers and b ≠ 0) is called a rational number.
All of the following are rational:
6
7
7
–12
.
0.3
8
3
4
43.721
All integers are rational because they can be written as
the integer
1
We have seen that all terminating and recurring decimals
a
can be written as fractions in the form b . This means that
they are also rational.
