Order Numbers Smallest to Largest
A coastal science team is comparing measurements and visitor counts. For each task, arrange the values from smallest to largest. Check place value carefully, especially when decimals or negative values appear.
Compare by place value
Use the number line to help place the measurements in order.
1.Four stream-depth readings (in metres) were 2.08, 2.8, 2.18 and 2.008. Write them from smallest to largest. Explain how comparing the decimal places helped you.
2.A temperature sensor recorded −3.5°C, 1°C, −0.8°C and −4°C. Choose the correct order from coldest to warmest.
- −0.8, −3.5, −4, 1
- −4, −3.5, −0.8, 1
- 1, −0.8, −3.5, −4
3.Put these yearly visitor counts in ascending order: 105,204; 105,024; 105,240; 104,999. Then identify the smallest count.
Decimal detective
The team is checking data recorded to different numbers of decimal places.
4.Select the list already arranged from smallest to largest.
- 0.407, 0.47, 0.704, 0.74
- 0.47, 0.407, 0.74, 0.704
- 0.704, 0.74, 0.407, 0.47
5.Four sample masses (in grams) are 0.605, 0.56, 0.506 and 0.65. Arrange them from smallest to largest, showing any trailing zeros you add to compare them.
6.True or false: 3.09 is greater than 3.1 because 9 is greater than 1. Correct the statement if it is false.
TrueFalse
Make and solve a sorting puzzle
Use your place-value knowledge to solve the final data challenges.
7.A sensor shows 4.06, 4.6, 4.16 and 4.006. Fill in the blanks to show the values in increasing order: < < < .
8.The whole numbers 23, 32, 203 and 230 are mixed up. Write them from smallest to largest, then state the place-value clue that separates the two-digit and three-digit numbers.
9.Create a four-number set of decimals between 5 and 6 that includes one number to 1 decimal place, two to 2 decimal places, and one to 3 decimal places. Write your set in smallest-to-largest order.
10.A teammate ordered −1.2, −1.02, 0.2 and −2 from smallest to largest as −1.02, −1.2, −2, 0.2. Find and correct the mistake, and explain it in one sentence.
