<![CDATA[You have to be very careful, the best tips are ones that always work - not sometimes that's to confusing to children. I have found the best way for ordering decimals is by practicing with real life experiences such as money and sports statistics. Also lining them up one above the other helps, making sure the decimal lines up exactly. You have them start at the largest place value location, far left, and see which one is the largest amount. If that place is the same then you keep moving to the right until their is a difference. Students need consistency to learn correctly.<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.scienceray.com%2FMathematics%2FHow-to-Teach-Decimal-Points-to-Children.152327%23comment252825"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.scienceray.com%2FMathematics%2FHow-to-Teach-Decimal-Points-to-Children.152327%23comment252825" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[\"For example: 6.454 is smaller than 6.7 because it has more digits.\"<br />
<br />
What about 6.754 and 6.4? the first number is smaller because it has less more digits??? <a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.scienceray.com%2FMathematics%2FHow-to-Teach-Decimal-Points-to-Children.152327%23comment194835"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.scienceray.com%2FMathematics%2FHow-to-Teach-Decimal-Points-to-Children.152327%23comment194835" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
