Add decimals to find a total when numbers include tenths and hundredths. Subtract decimals to find how much more or how much is left. Line up decimal points so each place value stays in the right column. Read word problems and decide whether to add or subtract to solve them. Write the answer with the decimal in the correct place.

Add decimals accurately, including when you need to regroup (carry). Subtract decimals accurately, including when you need to regroup (borrow). Keep track of place value (ones, tenths, hundredths, thousandths) to write the correct sum or difference.

Line up decimals by place value before adding or subtracting. Add decimals accurately, including when you need to regroup. Subtract decimals accurately, including when you need to borrow. Keep track of the decimal point in the answer.

Use a number line to subtract one decimal from another by jumping backward the right amount. Read and place decimals on a number line so you can start and end at the correct points. Break a decimal subtraction into smaller steps (like tenths and hundredths) to keep track of each jump. Find the difference between two decimals and write the answer with the decimal point in the right place.

Add two decimal numbers by starting at the first number and making jumps on a number line. Use tenths marks to keep track of how far each jump moves. Read and write the decimal you land on as the sum.

Line up decimals by place value using a helper grid so the digits match up correctly. Add decimals accurately, including when you need to regroup. Subtract decimals accurately, including when you need to regroup. Keep the decimal point in the right place when writing the final answer.
5nbt7
Add several decimal numbers to find one total. Line up decimal points so each place value is added in the right column. Regroup when the digits in a column add to 10 or more. Keep track of tenths and hundredths so the decimal ends up in the correct spot in the sum.
