How to play

  1. Compare the two decimals and select the greater value, or choose Equal.
  2. Use tenths, hundredths, and thousandths from left to right instead of counting digits.
  3. Read the place-value explanation after each answer and complete ten comparisons.

What this game practices

Useful for revealing misconceptions such as treating 0.45 as smaller than 0.5 because 45 is larger than 5 in whole-number thinking. The game practices comparison but does not introduce decimals with physical models.

How we checked it

Original coolmath game. The reviewed item bank deliberately includes trailing-zero and unequal-length decimal pairs that expose common place-value errors.
