Subtract Hundredths and Thousandths: Horizontal Subtraction Worksheet

Students align the decimal points and add extra zeros to the right of the number before subtracting decimals to ensure that each decimal has the same number of digits. Then, for the difference, students subtract digits at each place. In this worksheet, students practice solving problems written in the horizontal format. How numbers are laid out in a problem affects the method a student employs to solve it. Therefore to develop actual fluency and mastery of multiple strategies, students must practice different formats.
