Grade 5 students tackle tricky decimal comparisons including equivalent values like 0.9 versus 0.90 and dramatically different ones like 0.5 versus 0.05. Multiple choice and fill-in activities probe trailing-zero traps, factor-of-ten magnitude shifts, rounding to tenths, and ascending order with mixed place values. Tasks deepen mastery of the 5.NBT.3b standard by demanding precise place value reasoning. Grade 5 students master decimal positioning.
Style:

A) 0.9 is greater than 0.90
B) 0.9 is less than 0.90
C) 0.9 equals 0.90
D) 0.9 is ten times 0.90
2. Compare 0.5 and 0.05. Which sentence is true?
A) 0.5 equals 0.05
B) 0.5 is ten times 0.05
C) 0.05 is greater than 0.5
D) 0.5 is one hundred times 0.05
3. Which decimal is equal to 0.700?
A) 0.07
B) 0.7
C) 7.00
D) 0.0700
4. Order these in ascending sequence: 0.4, 0.04, 0.40, 0.404. Which list is correct?
A) 0.04, 0.4, 0.40, 0.404
B) 0.04, 0.40, 0.4, 0.404
C) 0.04, 0.4, 0.404, 0.40
D) 0.04, 0.404, 0.4, 0.40
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. True or false: 0.30 has a greater magnitude than 0.3. Answer: false.
2. 0.06 is 10 times smaller than 0.6.
3. Which is greater, 0.250 or 0.25? The answer is neither.
4. Order from least to greatest: 0.8, 0.80, 0.08, 0.808. The first two values are equal — they are 0.8 and 0.80.
5. When rounding 0.55 to the tenths place, the result is 0.6.
