This math unit introduces students to the foundational concepts of adding and subtracting decimals, gradually advancing from hundredths to thousandths. It begins with addition, where students practice summing decimal numbers up to the hundredths place, and gradually progress to more precise addition involving the thousandths place. As mastery develops, the focus shifts to subtraction. Initially, the unit covers subtracting decimals to the hundredths, moving towards more detailed subtraction involving thousandths. Throughout the unit, both addition and subtraction are practiced using both regular and columnar formats to enhance precision and understanding. This sequence helps students build a methodical approach to decimal operations, reinforcing their skills in handling decimal values in both addition and subtraction scenarios, thereby developing their overall numerical accuracy and fluency.
