Decimals worksheets

About this worksheet

Decimal sums written in columns, with the points one under the other. The method is the same as for whole numbers; the only new rule is to keep the decimal points in a line and to put the point in the answer straight below them.

Tips for parents and teachers

• If one number has fewer decimal places, write zeros to fill the gap: 4.5 is the same as 4.50.
• Estimate first with whole numbers. 12.8 + 7.3 must be near 20.
• Money is the easiest way in: ₹12.50 + ₹7.25 is a decimal sum the child already understands.
