Fifth and sixth graders read the information on how to compare decimal numbers to the thousandths place. They solve seven problems with comparing and ordering.

Estimating the value of numbers is much harder than it sounds! Scholars compare and order the value of numbers presented in different forms including fractions, decimals, roots, integers, and pi. This builds on the previous lessons in...

The ninth installment of a 21-part module has pupils compare integers and rational numbers in decimal and fraction form. They match stories to number lines and compare values in the stories.

Conquer any irrational fears you might have of irrational numbers. As class members investigate how to represent numbers geometrically, they learn about rational and irrational numbers, including approximating and ordering rational...

Math wizards begin the lesson by comparing and ordering rational numbers. Using a number line, they discover the relationship between the numbers and practice ordering them in the correct way. They also review proper techniques for...

Going from fraction to decimal and decimal to fraction shouldn't be a chore, but an easy step for young mathematicians to do within problems. This interactive lesson shows how long division can change any fraction to a decimal. Started...

Statements often have multiple interpretations — but not these inequality statements. Scholars compare rational numbers and write inequality statements symbolically. The lesson includes problems that require comparing three numbers.

Represent, order, and compare rational numbers in order to practice placing them on a number line. Your class will use appropriate operations, methods, and tools to compute with real numbers. Then they must explain completely and clearly...

Don't feel negative about negative numbers. Individuals extend their knowledge of positive numbers and fractions to rational numbers. They see how to represent negative rational numbers on a number line, learn about opposites and...

In this rational numbers learning exercise, students solve and complete 8 different problems that include applying the comparison property and density property for rational numbers. First, they replace each blank with the correct symbol...

Which is colder -12 or -18? Temperature is natural real-world application of ordering rational numbers. It's also fun to talk about the lowest recorded temperature on Earth. Take the time to discuss this inquiry with your class. 

Measure the temperature of your math class with a temperature-based lesson on adding and subtracting rational numbers. The thermometer serves as a vertical number line for learners as they work together to solve a temperature change...

Explore how to make a number line and how to mark the numbers along the number line using fraction and decimal notation. Your scholars will compare and order fractions and decimals and find their appropriate position on the number line.

Provide pupils with problems to check their understanding of the concepts within the unit. The seven-part series of lessons covers concepts related to irrational numbers. Learners convert between fractions and decimals, estimate the...

Explore rational numbers with the young mathematicians in your class. They will investigate decimals, fractions, and percents before ordering and comparing rational numbers. This multi-day unit includes differentiation activities and...

Don't be irrational! Use this pre-test to assess your classes' ability to work with all types of real numbers. The lesson asks learners to estimate value, evaluate roots, and order numbers. This begins a series of lessons on the real...

In this rational numbers worksheet, students solve and complete 15 different problems that include comparing and ordering various rational numbers. First, they fill in each blank with the correct symbol to make the sentence true. Then,...

In this rational numbers worksheet, students solve and complete 25 different problems that include identifying numerous types of rational numbers. First, they place a greater than, less than or equal to symbol between the fractions to...

Ordering numbers just got physical! Learners practice putting numbers in sequence, both in fraction and decimal form. To begin, they line up in birthday order and discuss the difference between ascending and descending. They are then...

Groups write and evaluate expressions for various phone plans and scenarios to find which is the best deal. They then compare different approaches to writing expressions for the same scenario and discuss the concept of equivalent...

Learners solve word problems using number sense. They convert fractions to decimals and mixed numbers. Pupils determine if a given fraction is greater or less than another fraction, and order numbers on a number line.

Order up a resource on comparing rational numbers. Scholars order fractions, decimals, and percents by converting to a single form. They conduct a cut-and-paste activity ordering three sets of rational numbers.

Algebra learners must know how to use rational numbers to approximate irrationals. This resource asks participants to decide which number is larger without using a calculator. It makes a great exercise to use as a five-minute transition...

There are four irrational numbers that participants need to graph. Pi(π), -(½ x π), and √17 are easy to approximate with common rational numbers. On the other hand, the commentary describing the irrational number 2√2 is not...
