The various resources listed below are aligned to the same standard, (4NF07) taken from the CCSM (Common Core Standards For Mathematics) as the Decimals Worksheet shown above.
Compare two decimals to hundredths by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual model.
