1. Comparing and Ordering Different Types of Numbers TEKS 6.1A Lesson 1 (2 nd 6 Weeks)

2. Strategies for comparing different types of numbers 1.Plot each number on a number line. Write these numbers in order from least to greatest.

3. 2. Rewrite the numbers as all decimals. EX: Order the following numbers from least to greatest. 6 1/2 = 6.5 -10 0 6.8 is already a decimal 1.00 0. 2 5

4. 5 1 = 6.4 is already a decimal 5.2 6.4 6.5 6.8 5 1 6.4 6 1 6.8 5 2 1.00 5 0. -10 0 2 5

5. 3. Rewrite the numbers as all fractions. EX: Compare 5 3 and 5.63 Rewrite 5 3 as 5 75 ( 3 = 75 ) Rewrite 5.63 as 5 63 4 4100 4

6. Compare 5 75 5 63 Therefore 3 5.63 100 > > 4 5
