Comparison chart with columns labeled “Less Than,” “Greater Than,” and “Equal To”
Introduction:
Explain the activity and review the comparison symbols: less than (<), greater than (>), and equal to (=).
Discuss how to compare decimal numbers and determine which is larger, smaller, or equal.
Task Card Preparation:
Provide each student with a set of pre-made task cards featuring decimal comparisons.
Instruct students to cut out the task cards, making sure to keep the comparisons intact.
Solving the Expressions:
Have students solve each decimal comparison on the task cards.
Remind them to think about place value and the relative size of each decimal.
Categorizing the Comparisons:
Provide each student with a comparison chart that has columns labeled “Less Than,” “Greater Than,” and “Equal To.”
Instruct students to glue each task card in the appropriate column based on the comparison.
Example:
Demonstrate by solving a couple of examples. For instance, 0.03 < 0.3 would go in the "Less Than" column, while 5.2 > 5.02 would be placed in the “Greater Than” column.
Additional Practice:
Give students more task cards with different decimal comparisons to cut, solve, and categorize.
Encourage students to work independently or in pairs to reinforce their understanding.
Discussion:
After completing the activity, discuss the results as a class.
Highlight any common mistakes and clarify misunderstandings about decimal comparisons.
Assessment:
Observe and check each student’s comparison chart to ensure they correctly solved and categorized the decimal comparisons.
Provide feedback and additional practice as needed.
