  1. Add the whole numbers first, then add the decimal parts. For example, 1.5 + 3.6 - 2.4 = (1 + 3 - 2) + (0.5 + 0.6 - 0.4) = 2 + 0.7 = 2.7
  2. With numbers less than 1,000, add the hundreds first, then the tens and then the units. For example: 120 + 360 + 25 + 8 = (100 + 300) + (20 + 60 + 20) + (5 + 8) = 400 + 100 + 13 = 513

If you don't get 10 out of 10 the first time you play the quiz, don't worry. Try it again until you have a good grasp of this important aspect of Math. Good luck!

0.8 + 0.2 + 0.7 = (0.8 + 0.2) + 0.7 = 1 + 0.7 = 1.7. Be on the LOOKOUT for decimals that sum to 1
8. 678.1 - 345.2 = ?
[ ] 332.8
[ ] 332.7
[ ] 323.9
[x] 332.9
678.1 - 345.2 = (600 - 300) + (70 - 40) + (8 - 5) + (0.1 - 0.2) = 300 + 30 + 3 - 0.1 = 333 - 0.1 = 332.9: Note: with negative numbers, the negative sign is kept with each part of the number, e.g. - 678.6 is written as -600, -70, -8, and -0.6

8.8 - 6.4 - 8.8 + 19.6 = (10) + (9 - 6) + (0.6 - 0.4) = 10 + 3 + 0.2 = 13.2: don't waste time writing numbers that cancel each other out, e.g. 8.8 - 8.8 = 0
10. 23.5 - 14.9 + 146.2 = ?
[ ] 145.8
