Tenths Differences

Worksheet Description

All of these decimal values are just composed of decimal values at the tenths place.  This is a great worksheet to help you relate decimal subtraction to normal single digit addition. It contains a series of subtraction problems where students must find the difference between two decimal numbers, each with a single digit followed by one decimal place. The numbers are arranged in a vertical format so that the tenths are aligned, facilitating easier calculation. At the bottom of the worksheet, there’s a “How Did You Do?” section, where students can express how they feel about their performance using emoticons.

The worksheet is designed to reinforce students’ understanding of subtracting decimals, particularly those with tenths. It aims to improve their ability to accurately line up decimal points and perform subtraction operations. The problems are structured to provide practice with both larger and smaller tenths values, ensuring students become comfortable with a range of subtractions. This skill is fundamental for their ongoing mathematical education, as decimals are a common component of many real-world and advanced mathematical applications.
