Compare and Order Decimals


There are two symbols we use to compare numbers.

> (greater than)

< (less than)

One number goes on the left of the symbol and another number goes on the right of the symbol.

The number on the left of the ">" shows the larger number. For example: 2 > 1

The number on the left of the "<" shows the smaller number.For example: 1 < 2

Symbols and Words to remember when comparing numbers

Round Numbers to Designated Place

ValuesReturn to Table of Contents

Rounding makes numbers that are easier to work with in your head.

• Rounded numbers are only approximate.• An exact answer generally can not be obtained using

rounded numbers.• Use rounding to get an answer that is close but that does

not have to be exact.

1. Put your pencil point under the digit in the tens place.

Look to the right.

2. Is the digit 5 or more?

Yes OR No

3. What happens to the digit?

Increases by 1 OR remains the same

4. What happens to everything to the left of the tens place?

Those digits always remain the same.

5. What happens to everything to the right of the tens place?

Those digits become zero.

Round 8,749 to the nearest ten.Review

1. Put your pencil point under the digit in the hundreds place.

Look to the right.


Yes OR No



4. What happens to everything to the left of the hundreds place?


5. What happens to everything to the right of the hundreds place?

Those digits become zero.

Round 8,749 to the nearest hundred.Review

46 Round 143 to the nearest ten

47 Round 4,561 to the nearest hundred.

48 Round 564,012 to the nearest hundred thousand.

49 Round 7,399 to the nearest thousand.


What happens in this case?

Round 697 to the nearest ten.

The 7 to the right of the 9 tells us to increase the 9 by 1.

What happens?

Answer ____________


52 Round 98 to the nearest ten.

53 Round 399,238 to the nearest ten thousand.

54 Round 9,521 to the nearest thousand.


Let's learn how to round decimals using the following examples:

Round 687.268 to the nearest tenths place.

When rounding decimals, put your pencil point under the place value that you are rounding to

DO NOT MOVE IT

687.268

Rounding Decimals

1. Put your pencil point under the digit in the tenths place.

Look to the right.


Yes OR No



4. What happens to everything to the left of the tenths place?


687.268

5. What happened to the digits to the right of the tenths place?

Remember, we are rounding.

The place values to the right of the tenths place have zero value, so now the digits 6 and 8 become zeroes.

687.300 = 687.3

However we leave the zeros off when they are to the right of the decimal point.

1. Put your pencil point under the digit in the hundredths place.

Look to the right.

2. Is the digit 5 or more? Yes OR No

3. What happens to the digit? Increases by 1 OR remains the same

4. What happens to everything to the left of the hundredths place?


5. What happens to everything to the right of the hundredths place?

Those digits become zero (and we leave them off since they are to the right of the decimal).
