Lesson Synthesis

• Which problems did you solve with addition (or subtraction)? How did you know to use addition (or subtraction)?

• How did you find the sums or differences? Why did you chose this method?

• Did you use the same method for all of your problems? Why or why not?

• When subtracting a number with fewer decimal places by another number with more decimal places, such as 2.4 – 0.1587, what strategies might be helpful.
