Butterfly Wings (Compare decimal numbers to hundredths and record the result with the symbols)

Ms. Thomas's fourth-grade class measures butterfly wings for a science experiment. They compare the lengths of two butterfly wings using a place value chart, determining that the second butterfly has taller wings. The lesson then extends to ordering a set of decimal numbers from largest to smallest, emphasizing the importance of comparing digits in the same place value. The video teaches how to compare decimals to the hundredths place.

List the numbers 0.99, 1.23, 5.01, and 1.22 in order from largest to smallest.

What is the process to determine which number is greater when comparing decimals?

Explain how the hundredths place affects the comparison of the numbers 1.23 and 1.22.
