Math Online Activities on Decimals

Dear children,
we have started term 3 and our first new Math topic is Decimal.
It is a brand new topic and many of you may find it tough to understand at first.
I've found some interesting online Math games on Decimals.
Enjoy!

1) Decimals in Space:
In this game, you have to shoot the space rocks with decimal numbers on them.
Shoot the smallest or largest decimals as instructed.

2) Decimals of the Carribean:
You are the captain of a pirate ship.
Your goal is to blast the Spanish treasure ships with your decimal cannonballs.

3) The Award Ceremony:
You are at a Sports event award ceremony.
You task is to arrange the event results in order.
Example:
The fastest time goes on position one in a 100 metres swimming event or
the furthest distance wins the first prize in the long jump event.
