Imagine Aria and Emma are on a treasure hunt. They come across a map with decimal-ordered pairs like (0.2, 0.4). Abigail wonders if it's the same as graphing a normal ordered pair, like (5, 25). What do you think?

• Yes, it's the same!

• No, it's different!

Answer explanation

Yes, it would be because graphing decimal numbers is the exact same thing as graphing whole numbers.

Aiden, Anika, and Scarlett are having a friendly competition to see who can plot the decimal, 0.2, on a number line the fastest. Who will have an easier time if they plot it closer to 0.25 or 0?

• 0

• 0.25

Answer explanation

When you are looking between the points of 0 and 0.25 on the number line, 0.2 will be closer to 0.25.

Imagine Oliver, Evelyn, and Aiden are having a race on a number line. If Oliver is at 0.5 and Aiden is at 1, where would Evelyn be if she is at 0.75? Closer to Oliver or Aiden?

• Oliver

• Aiden

Answer explanation

When you are looking between the points of 1 and 0.5 on the number line, 0.75 will be closer to 1.

Evelyn and Daniel are having a friendly debate. Evelyn thinks that graphing a decimal ordered pair, like (0.3, 0.6), is the same as graphing a normal ordered pair, like (3, 6). Daniel isn't so sure. Who do you think is right?

• Team Evelyn! Yes, it's the same.

• Team Daniel! No, it's not the same.

Answer explanation

Yes, it would be because graphing decimal numbers is the exact same thing as graphing whole numbers.

Imagine Grace, Harper, and Liam are playing a game of 'Decimal Dash' on a number line. If Grace has to place the decimal, 0.1, on the line, should she place it closer to 0 or 0.25 to win the game?

• 0

• 0.25

Answer explanation

When you are looking between the points of 0 and 0.25 on the number line, 0.1 will be closer to 0.

Plot these points on the number line:

0.1

0.2

0.4

0.7

0.9
