🧭 Teacher Notes & Supports (I can..., Success Criteria, Differentiation)

I can... compare and order decimals to the thousandths place and explain my strategy.

Success criteria: I can (1) align decimal places, (2) add zeros to compare, and (3) use place-value language (tenths, hundredths).

Differentiation strategies: For learners who need more support, provide number lines, place-value charts, or compare using money (dollars and cents). Offer sentence starters: "I know this is larger because..."

Extension activity: Challenge students to compare and order a set of mixed decimals and fractions (e.g., 1/4, 0.26, 0.250) and justify their reasoning in writing.

Dyslexia-friendly reading options: Provide high-contrast printed copies, use larger spacing between lines, and read problems aloud. Allow students to use colored overlays or track lines when reading decimal columns.
