The focus is on understanding decimal operations and applying effective methods to solve problems accurately.

Why is it important to align decimals correctly when adding or subtracting?

• To make the numbers look neat

• To avoid using a calculator

• To ensure the correct place values are used

• To make the calculation faster

What is a common mistake when subtracting decimals?

• Subtracting from left to right

• Ignoring the decimal point

• Aligning numbers by the leftmost digit

• Using a calculator

When subtracting 11.3 from 9.5, what is the correct result?

• 2.1

• 2.2

• 1.8

• 1.9

How can placeholders help in solving decimal problems?

• They change the value of the number

• They make the number longer

• They help align the numbers correctly

• They make the calculation faster

What should you add to 0.4 to make it a whole number?

• 0.7

• 0.4

• 0.6

• 0.5

In a missing number problem, what is the first step to solve it?

• Identify the operation needed

• Use a calculator

• Write down random numbers

• Guess the number

What is a flexible strategy for solving decimal problems?

• Using only addition

• Using a calculator

• Using only subtraction

• Using the opposite operation

How can you solve a subtraction problem by using addition?

• By adding the same number to both sides

• By finding the difference and adding it back

• By ignoring the decimal point

• By reversing the numbers

What is the benefit of using opposite operations in decimal problems?

• It provides a different perspective

• It makes the problem more complex

• It eliminates the need for regrouping

• It reduces the number of steps
