Decimals are in between whole numbers:
We must consider the place value of our decimals so that we can order
them (Remember thousandths are smaller than hundredths!)
The closest number to the decimal point has the biggest value.

O R D E R I N G D E C I M A L S
Look at each of the decimals you are ordering and how many numbers there are after the
decimal point.
1. If there is not the same amount, insert zeros at the end to make them the same.
2. Now ignore the decimal point and imagine as whole numbers. Order these ‘whole
numbers’ now.
For example- Order the following decimals in ascending order:
a) 0.91, 0.2, 0.6, 0.3
b) 0.314, 1.2, 0.98, 1.06
c) 6.24, 8.184, 7.426, 4.109
0.91, 0.20, 0.60, 0.30
0.314, 1.200, 0.980, 1.060

In the context of money, there must always be 2 numbers after the decimal
point.
You may need to round answers to 2 decimal points or add in a 0 to make the
two digits, for example:
1. If one tint brush costs £9.90, how much will 5 tint brushes cost?
2. A stylist carries out a perm on 3 clients and the total comes to
£231.90, what is the average cost of each perm?
3. A group of 5 friends each order a cocktail and the total comes to
£51.78. If they want to split the bill evenly, how much will each friend
have to pay?

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Recall the value of each digit up to 1 million
  • #8 Work across the columns from highest value to lowest: Units are the same Tenths are different – which one is bigger?
  • #9 Work across the columns from highest value to lowest: Tens are the same Units are the same Tenths are different – which one is bigger?
  • #10 Work across the columns from highest value to lowest: Hundreds are the same Tens are the same Units are the same Tenths are the same Hundredths are different – which one is bigger?
  • #13 If we are rounding to 1 decimal place, we look at the 2nd digit after the decimal point 3.12 would round down to 3.1 because 2 rounds down so 1 stays the same. 3.08 would round up to 3.1 because 8 rounds up and 0 becomes 1.
  • #14 If we are rounding to 1 decimal place, we look at the 2nd digit after the decimal point 25.57 would round up to 25.6 because 7 rounds up and 5 becomes 6. 25.82 would round down to 25.8 because 2 rounds down so 8 stays the same.
  • #15 If we are rounding to 2 decimal places, we look at the 3rd digit after the decimal point 162.055 would round up to 162.06 because the 5 in the 1/1000 column rounds up and the 5 in the 1/100 column becomes 6. 162.051 would round down to 162.05 because 1 rounds down so 5 stays the same.
  • #16 If we are rounding to 2 decimal places, we look at the 3rd digit after the decimal point 393.782 would round down to 393.78 because 2 rounds down so 8 stays the same. 393.788 would round up to 393.79 because the 8 in the 1/1000 column rounds up and the 8 in the 1/100 column becomes 9.
  • #17 If we are rounding to 2 decimal places, we look at the 3rd digit after the decimal point 421.102 would round down to 421.10 because 2 rounds down so 0 stays the same. 421.106 would round up to 421.11  because 6 rounds up so 0 becomes 1.
