Addition & Subtraction
L rning Go ls
● We are learning to add and subtract whole numbers.
● We are learning to add and subtract decimal numbers.
● We are learning to solve word problems involving 1-2
operations.
01
Multi-Digit A ition
L t’s look t th
ollowing qu stion:
Hundreds Tens Ones
653
+ 265
918
● Can anyone remind me what numbers we would start with adding together?
Multi-Digit A ition
● We always start adding from the right side (ones column) and
move to the left
● If the sum is greater than 9, we need to carry over to the next
column
● Since the sum from the tens column is greater than 9 (5+6), we
need to carry the ten over to the hundreds column

On your whiteboard, solve the following problem:
● Joe drove for 345 minutes on Tuesday and 663
minutes on Friday. What is the total number of
minutes Joe has driven?

02
Multi-Digit Su tr tion
L t’s look t th
ollowing qu stion:
654
- 266
388
● Would we start with the ones column like we did for addition?
Multi-Digit Su tr tion
● We always start by subtracting from the right side (ones
column) and move to the left
● Subtracting multi-digit numbers works the same way as adding
multi-digit numbers, except we are borrowing numbers
● Since we cannot subtract 6 from 4, we need to borrow a ten
from the tens column. We can now subtract 6 from 14.

What are some common words that are found in subtraction word
problems?
● “Difference”
● “Change”
● “Decrease by”
● “How many more”
● “Less than”
● “Fewer than”
● “Left over”

On your whiteboard, solve the following problem:
● Samantha collected 566 trading cards. She
decided to give 248 of the trading cards to her
sister. How many trading cards did Samantha
have left?

D im l Op r tions
D im l Pl V lu
● Decimal numbers refers
to numbers that include a
decimal point
● The part before the
decimal is the whole
number
● The part after the decimal
6 6 2 1 2
is a value less than one
Example: 662.12
A ing/Su tr ting D im ls
● We will add and subtract decimal numbers the same way that we did
for whole numbers!
● However, we need to remember to insert the decimal into our
answer.
● Let’s solve the following question:
46.4
+ 32.5
78.9

On your whiteboard, solve the following problem:
● Simon and his brother wanted to see who could
walk their dog around the block faster. It took
Simon 2.68 minutes and it took his brother 1.46
minutes. What is the difference in their walking
times?
