Students complete nine comparison problems using >, <, and = for decimal pairs including 0.6 and 0.60, 0.35 and 0.4, and ordering 0.9, 0.09, and 0.19 from least to greatest. The matching activity links 0.25, 0.90, 0.08, and 0.50 to their number-line position descriptions.
Place-by-place decimal comparison problems directly confront the whole-number-thinking misconception that more digits always means larger value.

Decimals and Place Value
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. Use >, <, or = : 0.6 = 0.60.
2. Use >, <, or = : 0.35 < 0.4.
3. Order from least to greatest: 0.9, 0.09, 0.19. Answer: 0.09, 0.19, 0.9.
4. The decimal 0.70 written in simplest fraction form is 710.
5. Use >, <, or = : 1.5 = 1.50.
6. The decimal 0.03 is closest to 0 on a number line.
7. Use >, <, or = : 0.8 > 0.78.
8. In the number 9.14, the value of the digit 1 is 0.1.
9. Order from greatest to least: 0.5, 0.55, 0.05. Answer: 0.55, 0.5, 0.05.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
0.25
→ one quarter
halfway between 0 and 1
0.90
→ close to 1
close to 1
0.08
→ close to 0
one quarter
0.50
→ halfway between 0 and 1
close to 0
