In this exercise you practise written addition and subtraction of decimals. The key idea: write the numbers one under the other so the decimal points sit in the same column. Every decimal place then lines up too, and you work column by column from right to left, exactly like with whole numbers.

What does this generator do?

Picks two decimals with hundredths and either adds or subtracts them. The answer is always positive and has at most two decimal places.

How to use it

Write the numbers one under the other so the decimal points line up. Add or subtract column by column, right to left. Type the answer with the decimal point.
