Judy believes that it is best to convert every one of the amounts to a decimal and then compare.  Frank finds it better to look at each of them using his “number sense” and compare each of them to each other.

 0.9, 2/3, ½, 0.67, ⅜

2/3 (top divided by the bottom) = .6 repeating 
1/2 = .5
3/8 =.375]]> 2020-10-01 01:18:31 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahcomptonclassroom/rjhp3qvqzb7a7hmz/wish/793359895 hannahcomptonclassroom https://padlet.com/hannahcomptonclassroom/rjhp3qvqzb7a7hmz/wish/793361565 Next, I would look at all the decimals and think about their values.
.9 (also 9 pieces of ten)
.6 repeating (about 6 pieces out of ten) 
.5 (5 pieces out of ten)
.67 (67 pieces out of 100 because there are numbers in both the tenths and hundredths places) 
.375 (375 pieces out of 1000)

Since all the decimals are parts of 1000, I can look at the numbers just as they are and compare.

.375 = 3/8
.500 = .5 = 1/2
.600 = .6 = 2/3 
.670 = .67
.900= .9 

Final order:
3/8, 1/2, 2/3, 0.67, 0.9

*Note* This whole process does not take very long. Some of these steps you can do in your brain. ]]> 2020-10-01 01:41:41 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahcomptonclassroom/rjhp3qvqzb7a7hmz/wish/793386885
