Place Value Chart
Comparing Decimals
• Line up the decimals vertically.
• Start at the left and compare corresponding digits. If the digits are the same, move one place to the right.
• When two digits are different, the larger number is the one with the larger value.
Example: Comparing Decimals
• List from Smallest to Largest
1.834, 1.83, 1.381, 1.38, 1.8

Rounding Decimals•Circle the digit value to round to,
and draw an arrow to the number to the right
•If the value is 5 or greater, round the digit value up one
•If the value is less than 5, drop the values to right of digit
Example: Rounding DecimalRound 137.8945 to the nearest hundredths
1 3 7.8 9 4 5 5 or Greater? No
Then drop values
137.89
Round 0.3899 to the nearest thousandth
0.3 8 9 9 0.39
Examples: More on rounding
Round to the nearest whole number. This is the same thing as rounding to the nearest ones place.

4 9 5.2 4 5 495.00 or 495
Adding and Subtracting Decimals
• Write the numbers to be added vertically and line up the decimal points. Extra zeros may be placed to the right of the decimal points if needed.
• Add or subtract all the digits with the same place value, starting with the right column and moving to the left.
• Place the decimal point of the sum or difference in line with the decimal points of the numbers added.

Multiplying Decimals Steps
• Set up in multiplying form – don’t worry about lining up decimals or trailing zeros
• Multiply
• Count decimals places in both multiplied numbers
• Move decimal point in final answer
Example: Multiplying Decimals
• Multiply 21.7 x .23Step 1

Dividing a Decimal by a Whole Number
• Set up the division problem
• Place the decimal point for the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend.
• Then, divide if the numbers were whole numbers.
• Validate by multiplication.

one above the other.

Dividing by a Decimal
Dividing by a Decimal
1. Make the divisor a whole number by moving the decimal point to the right. Mark that position with a caret (). Count the number of places the decimal point moved.
2. Move the decimal point in the dividend to the right the same number of places. Mark that position with a caret.
3. Place the decimal point of your answer directly above the caret marking the point of the dividend.
4. Divide as with whole numbers.
When dividing a decimal by another decimal, the division problem is converted into an equivalent problem that has a whole number as a divisor.
Dividing by a Decimal
Example: Divide 4.209 ÷ 1.83.
1.83 4.20 9
2.3
Move each decimal point to the right two places.. .
Mark the new position by a caret ().1.83 4.20 9
Place the decimal point of the answer directly above the caret. .
