"Adding, Multiplying, and Dividing Decimals with Mental Math, Algebraic Concepts, and Word Problems" is a worksheet that challenges students to approach problems with decimals from different angles. The problems on the worksheet ask students to:

* Write a multiplication problem, like 2.10 x 0.2 in vertical form before multiplying.

* Filling in the blanks in a problem like ___ + ___ = 1.9 when one of the blanks is given.

* Solving division problems, like 6 ÷ 0.3 =.

* Adding decimals mentally, like 0.5 + 0.13.

* Multiplying decimals mentally, like 0.11 x 0.8.

* Solve word problems, like earning a certain number of decimal points for a certain number of aliens that were destroyed in a game.

Each worksheet page features four sections with similar questions in each section. Single word problems are located inside their own rectangle, but other problems, like multiplying decimals, have multiple problems in the same box. There is extra room in each box for students to write the answer.

Giving students a lot of practice approaching problems in different ways can help them understand decimals better.

Word problems can be especially effective at showing students how adding, multiplying, and dividing decimals show up in the real world.

Some questions can encourage students to set up their own multiplication or division problems by displaying them horizontally. For example, students have to align the problem 1.9 x 1.3 vertically or 34 ÷ 0.4 in a division bracket before working out the answer.

You can also show students how operations relate to each other. For example, they could fill in one blank in an addition problem with decimals and then write the opposite subtraction problem. They could do the same with a multiplication problem by writing its corresponding division problem.
