9. Information Sheet: Handout/s
In Algebra, decimals are one of the types of numbers, which has a whole number and the
fractional part separated by a decimal point. The dot present between the whole number and
fraction’s part is called the decimal point. For example, 34.5 is a decimal number.
Here, 34 is a whole number part and 5 is the fractional part.
“.” is the decimal point.
Let us discuss some other examples.
Here is the number “thirty-four and seven-tenths” written as a decimal number:
Adding decimals.
To add decimals numbers, we follow those steps.
Step 1: Write numbers under each other and line up vertically the decimal points.
Step 2: Pad up zeros if the decimals are of different decimal places.
Step 3: Add the numbers as they are in column.
Step 4: Put up the decimal point on the sum.
Example 1:
3
Example 2:
Subtracting decimals.
To subtract decimals numbers, we follow those steps.
Step 1: Write numbers under each other and line up vertically the decimal points.
Step 2: Pad up zeros if the decimals are of different decimal places.
Step 3: Subtract the numbers as they are in column.
Step 4: Put up the decimal point on the difference.
Example 1:
4
Multiplying decimals.
To multiply decimal numbers, we follow the steps.
Step 2: Determine how many decimal places have all the numbers that are being multiplied.
Step 3: Put the decimal point on the answer starting from the right and moving as many decimal
places have all the numbers that are being multiplied.
Example 1:
Step 1: Assume that the decimal is a whole number and multiply them as whole numbers.
Step 2: Put in the product the same number of decimal points as there are in the decimal number.
5
Dividing decimals.
The trick is to get rid of the decimal point from the number we are dividing by.
How? We can "shift the decimal point" out of the way by multiplying by 10, as many times as
we need to.
But we must do the same thing to both numbers in the division.
Example 1:
Let us multiply the 0.2 by 10, which shifts the decimal point out of the way:
0.2 × 10 = 2
15 × 10 = 150
So, 15 ÷ 0.2 has become 150 ÷ 2 (they are both 10 times larger):
150 ÷ 2 = 75
15 ÷ 0.2 = 75
Example 2:
Divide 6.4 by 0.4
6
Dividing decimals (long method).
Example 1:
Divide 0.539 by 0.11
7
Example 2:
Divide 9.1 by 7

1. Lesson 2
2. Topic: Computation
4. Rationale:
As a student learning mathematics, this topic will enhance your mental skill, and boost creative
thinking, it will also equip you to apply the same principle to real life situations. Reality (math is
reality) can sometimes be harsh and cruel, but by getting in touch with reality, you will start to
see the world as a friendly place. This is important to learn because you will be able to relate to
basic arithmetic operations in the real world and everyday life.
5. Objectives:
C- Recall and identify steps to follow when adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing
numbers.
A- Recognize and distinguish the multiple usage of the four basic arithmetic operations.
6. Activities:
• Read the handout on basic arithmetic operations for word problem (decimal)
• Complete the practice exercise on the handout itself.
• Complete the worksheet with the basic arithmetic operation for word problem.

Summary:
The four basic arithmetic operations comprise of addition, subtraction, multiplication and
division. In addition, the order of arithmetic operation includes solving in the brackets first, then
of, division or multiplication, addition or subtraction, in the order. These operations enhance
your mental skill, and boost creative thinking in your everyday life.

Glossary
❖ Operations - mean things like add, subtract, multiply, divide, squaring, etc. If it isn’t a
number it is perhaps an operation.
❖ Acronym - an abbreviation formed from the initial letters of other words and pronounced as
a word
❖ Expression- a sentence with a minimum of two numbers and at least one math operation.
This math operation can be addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The structure
of an expression is: Expression = (Number, Math Operator, Number)
❖ Mathematical equation - An equation is a mathematical statement that two things are equal.
It consists of two expressions, one on each side of an 'equals' sign. For example: 12 = 7 + 5
❖ Evaluation – the calculation of the value of a mathematical expression

Summary:
We can use the acronym PEMDAS to remember the order of operations. You might hear
someone say 'Please excuse my dear aunt sally.' The first letter of each of those words makes up
PEMDAS. M and D are circled and A and S are circled because you compute both multiplication
and division in order from left to right, and the same with addition and subtraction. If division
comes before multiplication when reading from left to right, we compute the division first. If
subtraction comes before addition when reading from left to right, we subtract first.
