Study Notes
- The lesson is about comparing decimal numbers by first comparing the whole numbers and then looking at the decimal parts.
- In the first example, 8.1m is compared to 7.9m, with 8.1m being larger due to the whole number part being greater.
- The rule is that when comparing decimal numbers with different whole number parts, the number with the larger whole number part is greater.
- The second example compares 35.7m to 35.698m, with 35.7m being larger because its decimal part is greater than 35.698m.
- The process involves converting units if needed and comparing each decimal place from tenths to hundredths, etc.
- The text explains that when comparing decimal numbers with the same whole number part, you look at the tenths place first, then the hundredths place, and so on.
- The practice exercises involve arranging decimal numbers from smallest to largest or largest to smallest based on the comparison rules taught.
- The final exercise requires arranging decimal numbers from largest to smallest, following the same comparison process of looking at each decimal place.
- The key is to compare the whole numbers first, then move on to compare the decimal parts systematically from tenths to hundredths and so on.
- The lesson emphasizes the importance of understanding and applying the rules for comparing decimal numbers accurately.
