Comparing Decimals Effectively

The video tutorial explains how to compare and order decimals by stacking them. It emphasizes the importance of aligning decimal points and provides examples to illustrate the process. The tutorial covers comparing decimals like 1.32 and 1.5, and ordering a set of decimals from greatest to least, such as 1.42, 1.4, 1.5, and 1.38. The key takeaway is to stack decimals without moving the decimal points to accurately compare and order them.
