About this worksheet

Compare and order fractions, decimals, percents and negatives. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can tell which of two numbers is greater when one is a fraction, one a decimal and one a percent, by writing them all as decimals.
  • I can put up to four numbers in order, even when some are negative.
  • I can find a number that lies between two negative numbers.

Standard: state-only (CCSS 6.NS.C.7)

Words to know

greater: Farther right on the number line. -0.4 is greater than -0.5.

less: Farther left on the number line. -0.5 is less than -0.4.

percent: Out of 100. 40% means 40 out of 100, which is 0.4.

decimal form: A number written with a decimal point, like 0.75 for 3/4.

between: Farther right than the lesser number and farther left than the greater one.

Common mistakes

Your child compared the sizes and left out the minus signs, so -0.8 looked greater than -0.5.

Your child compared a percent with a decimal without changing it, so 40% looked bigger than 0.5.

Your child turned a fraction into a decimal by writing its two digits side by side, so 3/5 became 0.35.

What to say

Ask: which is colder, -8 degrees or -5 degrees?

Ask: what is 40% as a decimal?

Ask: what is 3 divided by 5?
