Teacher copy: This page may include teaching prompts or answer keys. Answer keys in this public library can be viewed by anyone. Give learners a clean prompt, use checks as formative evidence, and change a case locally when prior access matters.

Success: independently order, locate and justify three-place decimals. Prepare new card, not the worked route set. (AC9M5N01)

  1. Ready · 2 min. Explain independent check and access options; read numbers neutrally if needed.
  2. Example of format · 4 min. Show unrelated 0.5=0.500; do not solve the check values.
  3. Plan · 5 min. Learners draw columns or line and select a comparison strategy.
  4. Independent response · 7 min. Complete all three fresh items on paper, keyboard or accessible number cards. No peer answer during this stage.
  5. Self-check · 4 min. Ask whether trailing zeros changed values and whether their order makes sense; collect both initial and revised work.
  6. Exit · 3 min. Explain in one sentence the first different place for two chosen values. Use key and next teaching.
