  • Add & subtract decimals Line up the decimal points first, then add or subtract like whole numbers and bring the point straight down.
  • Comparing decimals Line up the decimal points and compare place by place from the left. Extra zeros on the end don't change a thing.
  • Decimal place value Each place to the right of the decimal point is ten times smaller: first tenths, then hundredths, then thousandths.
  • Dividing decimals Bring the decimal point straight up into your answer. If the number you're dividing by has a point, move both points right until it doesn't.
  • Fractions to decimals A fraction and a decimal can name the same amount: 3/4 and 0.75 are one number written two ways.
  • Multiplying decimals Multiply as if there were no decimal point, then count the decimal places in the problem and give your answer that many.
  • Rounding decimals Find the place you're rounding to, then look at the digit right after it: 5 or more rounds up, 4 or less stays.
  • Place value relationships Compare the values of the repeated digit. Complete each equation.
