Lining Up the Decimal Points

Adding money works like adding whole numbers, with the decimal point keeping dollars and cents apart. The one rule that matters is to line the amounts up on the decimal point, so cents sit over cents and dollars over dollars. Every problem on these sheets is printed that way, with the dollar sign at the left of each line, so students practice reading the columns correctly before they have to set problems up themselves.

Regrouping Cents into Dollars

When the cents add up to 100 or more, they make another dollar. In $3.75 + $1.50 the cents make $1.25, so a dollar is carried into the dollars column and the answer is $5.25. Subtraction works the other way: in $5.50 − $1.75, 75¢ cannot come out of 50¢, so one dollar is broken into 100 cents first, and the answer is $3.75. Set Regrouping to Never for sheets with no carrying or borrowing, or to Always for practice on exactly that step.

Checking Subtraction by Adding

A subtraction answer can always be checked by adding it back. If $8.20 − $3.45 = $4.75, then $4.75 + $3.45 should give $8.20 again. The mixed sheets put addition and subtraction side by side, so students have to watch each sign and can check one kind of problem with the other.
