Quarter 1 – Module 7:
Addition and Subtraction
of Decimals
Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Mathematics 6 Self-Learning Module (SLM) on Addition and

Subtraction of Decimals!

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by

educators both from public institution to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in
helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while
overcoming their personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and
independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also
aims to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist
the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

 What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you
master the Addition and Subtraction of Decimals. The scope of this module permits
it to be used in many different learning situations. In this module, you will realize
how important it is to learn basic operations particularly addition and subtraction
and their applications in our daily lives. We encourage you to solve it manually
without using calculators, cellphones and other gadgets.

This module covers Lesson 1: Adding and Subtracting Decimals.

After going through this module, you are expected to add and subtract
decimals and mixed decimals through ten thousandths without or with regrouping
(M6NS-Id-106.2).

 Lesson
Addition and Subtraction
1 of Decimals

Decimals can be defined as a whole number; the fractional part is separated by a

decimal point which can be read as “and”. The digits following the decimal point show
a value smaller than one.

Place value is the value where a digit is in a decimal number.

Standard form is the usual way to write a decimal, such as 7.32.

Word form is writing the decimals in words, such as seven and one hundred twenty-
five thousandths.

Let’s study the table.

Place-Value Chart
ten-thousandths

HINTS: The decimal point is

thousandths
thousands

hundredths

represented by the word AND. Treat

hundreds

tenths

the decimal part as its own number

ones
tens

and

and add the place value of the final

digit.

1 2 4 6 . 4 7 2 6

Decimal Point

Decimal Part
Whole number part

To read the figure in word form, that is one thousand two hundred forty-six
and four thousand seven hundred twenty-six ten thousandths and the standard form
can be written as 1,246.4726

４
 What’s In

In this lesson we will briefly review decimals and the relationship to place
value. We have just started. We feel how eager you are to learn the content of this
module. We hope that you keep it up for you to accomplish the activities/exercises
of this lesson.

Notes to the Teacher

We are optimistic that you can help the learners achieve the desired
competencies. We encourage you to provide notes, feed backs, and
instructions on how to use this module effectively. In each of the key
elements, the learner will seek your presence but we have to empower them
to assess themselves more effectively and to become self-regulate learners.
Let’s make it happen!

On the Place Value Chart

Before we proceed on addition and subtraction of decimals, it is necessary
that you know how to read and write the standard form of the decimals. And now
let’s try to work on to the next activities.

Activity 1: Battle of Marathon

Read the given figure and write its word name

The marathon is a long-distance race with

an official distance of 42.1950 kilometers, usually
run as a road race. The event was instituted in
commemoration of the fabled run of the Greek
soldier Pheidippides, a messenger from the Battle
of Marathon to Athens, who reported the victory.

５
Activity 2: Write the word name of the following decimal numbers:
1. 6.4531 = ___________________________________________________________
2. 7.96420 = __________________________________________________________
3. 4.78012 = __________________________________________________________
4. 57.8750 = __________________________________________________________
5. 412.5632 =__________________________________________________________

Activity 3: Write the standard form of the given word name

1. Two and twenty-one thousand three hundred sixty-four ten thousandths =
____________________________
2. Eight and four thousand seven hundred ninety-nine ten thousandths =
______________________________
3. Three and eleven thousand five hundred one hundred thousandths =
________________________________
4. One hundred thirty-two and sixty-four ten thousandths =
_____________________________
5. Eighteen and three hundred seventeen ten thousandths =
____________________________

What’s New

Addition and Subtraction of Decimal Numbers

Adding and subtracting decimal numbers is fun and easy to learn. The process
is similar in adding or subtracting a whole number. Now, we want you to try to
perform the activity.

Activity 1: “Merienda Time”

Vince, Kath, and James went to the school canteen to buy snack food. The
three pupils bought different foods from the canteen. Let’s see what food they have
bought and find out how much each spent food for their merienda.

６
 Food Vince Kath James
Kakanin 12.50
Champorado 18.75
Banana Cue 5.00 5.00 5.00
Arrozcaldo 25.45
Total Amount

Answer the following questions. Write your answers on a separate sheet of

paper. Show your solution.

1. How much did each pupil spend for their merienda?

a. Vince = ___________________
b. Kath = ___________________
c. James = ___________________
2. Find the total amount spent by Vince and Kath.
3. Find the difference of the total amount spent between James and Kath.
4. If the total amount spent by Kath is subtracted from James’ total
amount, what have you got?
5. What is the total amount spent by the three pupils?

What is It

There are few things to remember in adding and subtracting decimal numbers.
You can do it by simply following these steps:
➢ Write down the numbers in column and align the decimal points.
➢ If necessary, write zeros in empty decimal place values so that numbers have
the same length or decimal places.
➢ Add or subtract starting from the right, don’t forget to put the decimal point
between the whole number and the decimal parts.

７
 Example 1: Activity 1

11 1 Write down the numbers

12.50 in column and align the
18.75 decimal points.

+ 25.45
Add or subtract starting from the right,
56.70 don’t forget to put the decimal point
between the whole number and the
decimal parts.

For the Activity # 1, Vince, Kath, and James spent Php. 56.70 for Kakanin,
Champorado and Arrozcaldo.

In some cases, we place zeros in the decimal value so that digits are of the
same length. Putting zeros would mean that the decimal place has no value.

write zeros in empty decimal

place values so that numbers
. 4.5100
have the same length or
.+ 1.0325 decimal places.
. 5.5245

These steps may also be applied if the operation requires subtraction.

Checking of answers may also be done by adding the difference to the number
subtracted.

What’s More

After a series of discussion, we want you now to take on the next challenge.
We are pretty sure that you gained a lot on the content of this module. With the
knowledge you gained, try to answer the next activities. We encourage you to solve
manually. You may use extra sheets in solving the activities.
