This ordering decimals worksheet contains questions which require students to think about the relative sizes of decimals and the order that they would be written on a number line. The worksheet also includes questions on ordering fractions.

Use these topic-focused SATs questions at the end of a unit to test and extend students’ understanding as well as helping them to prepare for SATs.

These questions have fully-worked solutions which you can display on your whiteboard, making feedback with students more efficient.

Print off this resource and make it into an A4 or A5 booklet in the style of the actual SATs papers. This makes it convenient to use in class or as homework. You can even give it to individual students if a parent is asking for ‘some more work’!

Example ordering decimals worksheet questions

  • Write these numbers in order of size, starting with the smallest
  • What number of halfway between 1.4 and 2.1?
  • Write in the missing number on this number line
  • Circle the number closest in value to 0.1
  • Circle all the numbers that are greater than 0.6
  • Adam says 0.25 is smaller than 2/5. Explain why he is correct

Worksheet key points

  • Full answers provided with comments and working where helpful
  • Follows the style of actual SATs questions so that students can become comfortable with the way that SATs questions are presented
  • Most of the questions are from actual SATs papers, but there are also additional questions so that this resource matches the requirements of the current curriculum
  • Questions arranged so that there is a general increase in difficulty as students work through them, and also so that they fit on the pages better – this means less wasted space and significant paper-saving when printing
