Lesson Plan for Teachers on Add and subtract decimals

Lesson Title:Add and subtract decimals

Lesson Objective: Students will be able to add and subtract decimals with up to two decimal places.

Materials: Decimal cards (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, etc.), worksheets with decimal problems, calculators (optional)

Introduction (5 minutes): Begin the lesson by reviewing place value and how it applies to decimals. Use the decimal cards to demonstrate how the value of a decimal changes depending on its place (i.e. 0.4 is 4 tenths and 0.04 is 4 hundredths).
