This learning resource focuses on comparing and ordering decimal numbers. It begins with a warm-up section that revisits previous lessons on place value, fractions, addition, and visual representation on a number line. The core strategy introduced is the Alignment Strategy, which guides students to align decimal points, fill in empty places with zeros, and compare values from left to right by analyzing place values. The resource includes worked examples, faded practice problems, and opportunities for guided practice through think-pair-share activities. Students will engage in mastery paths that allow them to compare decimals using symbols, order decimals from least to greatest, and apply their understanding in real-world contexts, such as comparing race times. The resource concludes with an exit ticket that challenges students to order decimals and reflect on their understanding of the concepts presented.
