The value of decimal numbers – The magnitude of numbers can be confusing, for example, when we ask ‘Put these numbers in order, smallest first: 1, 1.01, 1.11, 0.01, 0.1’ many children are uncertain of how to do this. It may be necessary to find a method of comparison. For example some children think of each of these as a number of hundredths, that is, 100,101,111,1. ................
