Chapter 8 Decimals: Lesson 11 Comparing and Ordering Decimals
Textbook pages 35 36 37 Workbook pages 21 22
Lesson Notes: Prepare the materials as shown in the In Focus task.
To begin this lesson, show pupils the In Focus task and invite four volunteers to each form a number using the digit cards 5, 9, 8, 1. Write the numbers on the board and ask pupils how we can order them from smallest to greatest. How can we make the comparison? How can we arrange the numbers so that the comparison will be easier? Gather their responses and go through their strategies.
Demonstrate the comparison by arranging the numbers on a place-value chart. Guide pupils to see that since the tens have the greatest value compared to the ones, tenths and hundredths, we should start comparing the digits in the tens place. Show the class how to compare the four numbers and arrange them in order from smallest to greatest. Then work through Let’s Learn 1 and 2, using a number line and place-value chart.
During Guided Practice, pupils are comparing and ordering numbers with 2 decimal places.

Writing Task
The writing tasks over the next 2 weeks will be taken from the Talk For Writing .. Home – School booklet which you can find if you open this link:
The idea is that each day I will post on the daily tasks, which task from the booklet to do. There is no need for you to print out the booklet, you could do the tasks in your exercise book.
Today I would like you to:
1st read the model text again
2nd try to make your own story map to help you learn the story
Please don’t forget to read today. ‘The more you read, the more you know. The more you know, the more places you will go.’ You should be able to access the book quizzes and don’t forget to go on Lexia (if you have a log in) for 15 minutes each day. Well done everyone.
