Guided Notes
3 key concepts
- 1
When adding or subtracting numbers with decimals, it is important to arrange the numbers vertically and align them by their decimal points.
- 2
Placeholder zeros can be added to the end of a decimal number without changing its value to help keep digits organized by place value.
- 3
We use the same addition and subtraction algorithms for decimals as we do for whole numbers, and it's helpful to bring down the decimal point first.
