Use your own words, and don’t worry about using “proper math speak”! • Comparing and ordering decimals? • How do you add and subtract decimals? • What do you know about multiplying decimals? • How do you divide using decimals?

  5. Subtracting Decimals • Make sure that you line up your place values and add zeros where appropriate and then use regular subtraction rules to evaluate the expressions. 27.698

  6. Multiplying Decimals • Use your regular multiplication rules, and multiply the numbers. After you are finished multiplying, add the total number of decimal places that the factors hold, and move that many places to the left in your final answer

  7. Dividing Decimals • To divide, make sure that your denominator (outside number) is a whole number. If it isn’t, multiply it by 10 until it is a whole number. REMEMBER, WHAT YOU DO TO ONE NUMBER MUST BE DONE TO THE OTHER NUMBER IN THE PROBLEM. Next place the decimal right above where the decimal is in the new division problem. Follow regular division rules.
