Reading, writing and comparing decimals to thousandths

Read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form; compare using >, =, < based on place-value meaning

Lesson

Set out your lesson

Read and write decimals to thousandths. Use digit values to expand, compare and order them.

Before teaching

Use this short check, then start teaching.

Activity

Ask what 0.1 and 0.01 mean and which is larger. Expect one tenth and one hundredth; 0.1 is larger. Ask the learner to show that 0.30 and 0.3 have equal value. If this is unclear, revisit the named decimal comparison and thousandths prerequisites before this lesson.

Policy

Check readiness directly. Prerequisite availability is not attainment.

Printer, credit, and teaching notes

Check readiness directly. Prerequisite availability is not attainment.

Use these linked lessons over several short sessions. Start with the readiness check; if it is not secure, revisit the named prerequisites rather than treating source availability as learner readiness. Use Show, Guided, then Try. Read the active sheet on screen and answer on plain paper or by typing. No printer, cutting, purchase or internet is needed. The adult may read the exact prompt. Record any hints, scribing or calculation help. Oral explanations do not show independent reading or handwriting. Use extra space and time as needed; pause or split the lesson. Keep this adult guide and all keys private. Share only the active learner sheet. Before Try, put Show, Guided work and notes aside. Keep the Try givens available, including a unit table if supplied. Give no answer or target step during the first attempt. If help is needed, give it and mark the attempt supported. Review keys after the attempt. Record the actual response and help; do not invent success or infer mastery from one attempt. These are fictional paper or oral mathematics tasks. No personal information, public sharing, purchase, real transaction, physical experiment or real measurement is required.

Use the complete materials on screen or print only the current sheet. Keep adult guidance out of learner view.

Comparisons 1 supports reading, writing, and comparing multi-digit numbers on the way to decimal comparisons. Not every fraction strip lesson.

Free, no sign-in. A teacher solution is on the same page, so use the student view with your child.

Before you open

Ask the learner which number is greater and which place decided the comparison.

Source, access and review notes

Public Illustrative Mathematics task page. The .html address responds HTTP 308 to this URL. An anonymous GET of this URL on 2026-11-12 returned HTTP 200 with no login or payment prompt. Where a teacher solution is present, it is on the same page as the student task; this check did not find a separate locked student view. An adult can use the student view section and should not read a solution aloud. Advertising was not observed in the fetched HTML text; that is not a browser, device, or ad-free guarantee. This is a paper or discussion task, not an automatically marked interactive game. Opening the link does not save practice or assess mastery. Diagrams on the page use missing or filename-only alt text, so they are not an accessible image equivalent. Accessibility still depends on an adult describing the picture.

Check understanding

  • Write 347.392 in expanded form: 3×100 + 4×10 + 7×1 + 3×(1/10) + 9×(1/100) + 2×(1/1000)
  • Compare 0.372 and 0.38 using place-value reasoning
  • Write 'five and sixty-two thousandths' as 5.062
“Can your child read and write decimals like 3.047 or 0.625, say what each digit means (3 ones, 0 tenths, 4 hundredths, 7 thousandths), and put a set of decimals in order?”
