Comparing
Decimals
Game
By Nicole Shelby
Recently, I have been working with my students on comparing
decimals. I wanted to make this concept fun, so here is a little
game that I came up with to help them with this concept.
Directions:
• Give each pair three dice and a copy of the Comparing
Decimals handout.
• Once students are in pairs, one student will roll the three
dice. The student will use the numbers that he rolled to
create the largest three digit number that can be made and
record it on the Comparing Decimals sheet. One digit will go
in the ones place, one in the tenths, and one in the
hundredths. Both students will write down the number.
• The other student will take a turn. Then both students will
look to see who has the greatest number. The winner will
record a tally mark on the Comparing Decimals sheet.
• The student with the most tallies, wins the game.
My students loved this game! I hope your students find it as
fun as mine did. ☺
