DECIMAL LINE UP - ADDING AND COMPARING DECIMALS THE SMART WAY

This INTERACTIVE activity is great for students to see a true line up of place values when adding decimals. You can quickly identify who has the placement incorrect. THEY LOVE TO MOVE THE NUMBERS. The "guideline" shows students the separation of whole and parts. Zeros must be added to take the place of "empty" squares. Students will quickly see how the values line up and they are also asked to line the numbers up in order from greatest to least. GREAT AS A MATH CENTER. There are 3 examples but you can easily use my examples to make more -feel free . There are 2 additional worksheets. One goes with the activity , one is for followup to check for understanding. Enjoy! The students will. :)
