Base Ten Blocks for Comparing Decimals
Typically, a cube equals one, but if you say the flat equals one-tenth, then the long equals one-hundredth, and the cubes equal one-thousandth. Let’s try it out. If I’m comparing 0.446 and 0.46, I would build each number. We begin by looking at the first digit which is a four in the tenth place. So I’ll get out of four flats. Next, we move to the second digit, a four in the hundredth place. This means I need four longs. Finally, we make six-thousandths using six cubes.
Now we want to make 0.46. We do this by using four flats to show four-tenths, and six longs to show six hundredths. And now it is easy to see that 0.46 is larger than 0.446.
Decimal Grids for Comparing Decimals
For this method, you must provide a 10 by 10 grid and have them color it in to represent the decimal. Let’s use this to compare 0.03 and 0.3. We begin by coloring in three out of the hundred squares – three hundredths. Next, we color in 3 tenths. That is three out of the ten columns. And when that is done it is obvious that 0.03 is less than 0.3.

Number Lines to Compare Decimals
First, we have to figure out what to start and end our number line with. Since we are comparing numbers that both have two-tenths, we can start with two-tenths and end with three-tenths.
Now we want to make our increments go up by hundredths. And finally, we put the two numbers we are comparing on the number line. Once again it is easy to see that 0.210 is less than 0.24.

Cut and Paste Activity for Comparing Decimals
All our big kiddos must do is solve each expression and then put it on the chart under the correct wording.
So 0.03 < 0.3 would be placed in the less than column, while 5.2 > 5.02 would end up in the greater than column.

Treasure Hunt for Comparing Decimals
Roll the dice first. If students land on a treasure box, the teacher will give them a decimal comparison problem. Then, the student will solve the problem. If the answer is correct, he or she will proceed to the game. Otherwise, he or she will be stuck on that stage. The game will be continued in this manner. The student who can finish the game first will win the game.
