Ordering numbers (including decimals)

Posted on September 11, 2015 by KW

This week we we have been looking at large whole numbers and numbers with decimals, practising ordering and rounding skills.

Remember ‘decimal places (d.p.)’ just tells you how many places there are to the right of the decimal point (e.g. 1 d.p. = tenths, 2 d.p. = hundredths or 3 d.p. thousandths).

If you want to practise ordering larger numbers and numbers including decimals, these games may help you.

Can anyone beat our class record so far of 18 points on the ‘Tricky Decimals’ ordering numbers game?
