Lesson 3.3 Adding and Subtracting Decimals
Essential Question:
• How do I add and subtract decimals?• Always line up decimals• Add and subtract like you always do• Bring decimal straight down in your answers
Adding
Examples:4.55 + 11.3
Put the first number on the top of the second
number and line up the decimals.
4.55 + 11.3
You can add a zero
to help keep
everything lined up
0 15.85
When adding or subtracting
you always start from the right and work
left.
6.44 + 16
When there is not a decimal
put onebehind thenumber.
Line up the
decimal 6.44 + 16.

Estimation• You can always estimate to know if your answer
is close.
• 6.7 + 8.2 =
• Ask yourself, “Is 6.7 closer to 7 or 6?”• Ask yourself, “Is 8.2 closer to 8 or to 9?”
• Your estimate is 7 + 8 = ________
• Actual answer?? _______________
7
8
Estimate and solve the following…(E = Estimate, A = Actual)
8.9 + 3. 4 E=______ A = _______
7.4 – 2.1 E= ______ A = _______
6.7 – 4.3 E= ______ A = _______
2.9 + 1.8 E= ______ A = _______
Watch the signs!!
Ms. Kim is making 3 different kinds of cookies using chocolate chips. The recipes ask for
2.25 kg, 1.75 kg, and 4.55 kg of chocolate chips. Ms. Kim has 11 kg of chocolate chips total.
