Objective: I can compare decimals.

When zeros are added to the right of the decimal, the value of the number is not changed.

Example:

1.046 = 1.0460 = 1.04600 = 1.046000 …

To compare decimals, we compare the place values.

Step 1: Start at the left. Find the first place where the numbers are different.

Step 2: Compare the digits that are different.
