Adding and Subtracting Decimals

Three hundred one thousandths, minus two tenths
Line up the tenths, hundredths and thousandths
When right of a number there's an empty space
Writing zeroes can help by holding the place
The decimal point drops directly below
So that the points line up in a row
Subtract each place value to find the difference
Equals one hundred one thousandths

To find the sum or difference, it just makes sense
To line up the tenths, hundredths and thousandths

To add five hundredths and six thousandths
Line up the place values with confidence
When right of a number there's an empty space
Writing zeroes can help by holding the place
The decimal point drops directly below, so that the points line up in a row
Add it up and fifty six thousandths is the sum
It feels so good to know that this problem is done

To find the sum or difference, it just makes sense, to line up the tenths, hundreds and thousands
If after you line up the place values, there are spaces to the right that you didn't use
You can choose to write zeroes and the content will have a value that is equivalent

To find the sum or difference, it just makes sense, to line up the tenths, hundredths and thousandths
To find the sum or difference, it just makes sense, to line up the tenths, hundredths and thousandths
