You're working on a math activity called
“Who Shares? Pairs Share!” — a partner-based exercise where you and your partner each solve the same set of problems independently, then compare answers and discuss any disagreements. The goal is to
order decimals and fractions from least to greatest.
Let’s solve each problem step by step.
---
🔢 Problem 1:
0.42, 1/4, 0.31
- Convert all to decimals for easy comparison:
- 0.42 → already decimal
- 1/4 = 0.25
- 0.31 → already decimal
✔ Ordered from least to greatest:
0.25 (1/4), 0.31, 0.42
➡️
Answer: 1/4, 0.31, 0.42
---
🔢 Problem 2:
0.5, 3/4, 0.62, 3/5
- Convert fractions to decimals:
- 3/4 = 0.75
- 3/5 = 0.6
So we have: 0.5, 0.75, 0.62, 0.6
✔ Ordered from least to greatest:
0.5, 0.6 (3/5), 0.62, 0.75 (3/4)
➡️
Answer: 0.5, 3/5, 0.62, 3/4
*(Note: You can write fractions or decimals — but since original list mixes both, it’s fine to keep them as given.)*

🔢 Problem 3:
0.901, 9/10, 0.92, 2/5
- Convert fractions:
- 9/10 = 0.9
- 2/5 = 0.4
So we have: 0.901, 0.9, 0.92, 0.4
✔ Ordered from least to greatest:
0.4 (2/5), 0.9 (9/10), 0.901, 0.92
➡️
Answer: 2/5, 9/10, 0.901, 0.92
---
🔢 Problem 4:
1/2, 4/5, 3/10, 4/10
- Convert all to decimals:
- 1/2 = 0.5
- 4/5 = 0.8
- 3/10 = 0.3
- 4/10 = 0.4
✔ Ordered from least to greatest:
0.3 (3/10), 0.4 (4/10), 0.5 (1/2), 0.8 (4/5)
➡️
Answer: 3/10, 4/10, 1/2, 4/5
---
🔢 Problem 5:
0.32, 0.39, 0.301, 0.3
These are all decimals — just compare digit by digit.
Write them with same decimal places for clarity:
- 0.320
- 0.390
- 0.301
- 0.300
✔ Ordered from least to greatest:
0.3 (0.300), 0.301, 0.32, 0.39
➡️
Answer: 0.3, 0.301, 0.32, 0.39

✔ Final Answers Summary:
| Problem | Answer (Least to Greatest) |
|---------|---------------------------------------------|
| 1 | 1/4, 0.31, 0.42 |
| 2 | 0.5, 3/5, 0.62, 3/4 |
| 3 | 2/5, 9/10, 0.901, 0.92 |
| 4 | 3/10, 4/10, 1/2, 4/5 |
| 5 | 0.3, 0.301, 0.32, 0.39 |

## 💡 Tips for Partner Work:
- Each person solves independently first.
- Then compare answers.
- If you disagree,
talk it out — explain how you converted or compared numbers.
- Use number lines or place value charts if needed.
- Circle the ones you got right together — celebrate accuracy!
- Discuss why you might have made a mistake — that’s how learning happens!
