Ordering Decimals on a Number Line Worksheet

Are you looking for a different type of decimals on a number line worksheet for your students? Teach Starter has developed a fun worksheet for your students to complete to practice this important math skill.

This worksheet focuses on the concept of identifying and ordering decimals on a number line. Students will plot a series of numbers on a number line and then use the visual aid to sequence the decimals from least to greatest.

An answer key is included with your download to make grading fast and easy!  

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

In addition to independent student work time, use this worksheet as an activity for:

• Lesson warm-up
• Lesson wrap-up
• Fast finishers 
• Homework assignment
• Whole-class review (via smartboard)

If students are looking for an additional challenge, consider using the editable version and give them a worksheet with a blank tablet and phones. Students can create their own numbers and trade with a partner to complete them.

For students who need a bit of support, encourage students to line decimals up on a piece of grid paper to easily compare.
