LI : how to add decimal numbers using algorithm

For this math lesson we have been continuing on to learn about how to do basic math with decimals like addition, subtraction, ect, but in this particular lesson about decimals we started off with learning how to add decimals together. To also do this task you have to sort out the place values of each number from tens, ones, tenths, hundredths, thousandths, and more, while everytime you add the chosen numbers you have to always start from the number farthest to the right working your way up to the left. Another thing to remember when doing this maths calculation is to always carry the ones to the correct place holders and a very simple trick to do this is to make your working out very neat and tidy, so it will be easier to look at and figure it out. Something I found interesting was we learnt how to add numbers using decimal points, and we learnt a rule while adding decimal numbers is that you always have to line up the decimal points with each other.
