Worksheet directions

Grade 6 • Homework • Use the strategies practiced in class. Show your work and check your answers.

Sample questions

  1. Solve 20.8 - 0.4. Check the result with an inverse operation and explain why the check works.
  2. Solve 41.2 - 0.76. Check the result with an inverse operation and explain why the check works.
  3. A student claims 27.6 - 0.52 = 270.8. Use place value or an estimate to diagnose the decimal-point error and give the correct answer.
  4. A student claims 48 - 0.88 = 471.2. Use place value or an estimate to diagnose the decimal-point error and give the correct answer.
  5. Compute 14 - 0.28 using the standard algorithm. Explain how you determine the decimal point in the answer.
  6. Compute 34.4 - 0.64 using the standard algorithm. Explain how you determine the decimal point in the answer.
