Ordering Rational Numbers

Picture of math equation
We completed the task of ordering these numbers from smallest to largest by looking at them while considering that they are all negative and by trying to find the ones that were the farthest away from zero. A strategy that we used was writing out all the numbers to six decimal places so that we could easily see which numbers were bigger. This task was fairly easy because it didn’t require finding common denominators or changing the numbers at all and we were able to put them in order fairly quickly. We did make one error by putting one in the wrong spot because we got them confused with positive numbers. I think we could have done a slightly harder problem because it didn’t take us very much time to do this.
