Students order small numbers written in standard form, and explain why they are ordered in that way. The numbers are the lengths of some microscopic animals.
Students interpret a table of distances for a long jump competition, written to two decimal places, finding the longest and shortest jumps and ordering sets of three numbers.
Students demonstrate their understanding of standard form numbers by ordering given numbers from smallest to largest and by identifying the larger of two numbers.
This practical task requires students to order numbers with 2 decimal places from smallest to largest using digit cards. New numbers with 2 decimal places are then created with the digit cards.
Students state temperatures to the nearest tenth degree, between two given temperatures. They also order a set of temperatures from coldest to warmest.
In this practical task students demonstrate their understanding of the meaning of 3 digit numbers by following oral instructions to create numbers on a calculator.
