Ordering Decimals Worksheets | Compare and Order Decimals Practice Resource

Understanding how to order decimals is a critical skill for building strong foundations in mathematics. Students often find decimals tricky, especially when it comes to comparing numbers with different place values. This Ordering Decimals Worksheets Pack provides step-by-step practice that helps learners develop confidence in reading, comparing, and ordering decimal numbers from smallest to largest (or vice versa).

Designed for teachers, homeschool parents, and tutors, this printable resource is an engaging, no-prep solution for teaching decimal place value, comparing decimals, and ordering decimals with clarity and ease.

Why Ordering Decimals Matters

Decimals are used every day in real-world contexts like money, measurements, and percentages. Before students can apply decimals confidently, they need to master place value understanding. Ordering decimals reinforces the ability to compare tenths, hundredths, and thousandths, and prepares students for more advanced math topics such as fractions, percentages, ratios, and algebra.

Many learners struggle when decimals look confusing—for example, deciding whether 0.8 is greater than 0.75 or whether 1.05 is smaller than 1.5. This resource provides clear, scaffolded practice to ensure students understand that place value determines value, not just the number of digits.

By working through these worksheets, students build accuracy and fluency in comparing and ordering decimals, a skill aligned with upper-elementary and middle school math standards.
