Order Whole Numbers, Decimals and Fractions

Pupils arrange seven sets in ascending order: three whole-number sets, two decimal sets and two mixed-number sets. Comparing each set encourages attention to magnitude rather than the length of a number's written form. Use a number line or equivalent forms when pupils need support, then consult the checking page after they explain their sequence.

Curriculum reference — England: Actual fraction and decimal complexity must support the stage. Ontario Grade6 explicitly orders integers, decimals and fractions separately or together. England KS3 explicitly orders positive and negative integers, decimals and fractions; no automatic primary label. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
