Each digit in a decimal number has a value based on its position. Comparing the place of digits helps you read, write and order decimal numbers accurately.

  2. Name the value of each digit by its position.
  3. Compare digits from left to right when ordering numbers.
  4. Check that zeros have not changed the value incorrectly.
