BASIC DECIMALS

This book presents an easy-to-read format for the student who has difficulty with conventional math texts. There are graphic models, a step-by-step instructional format, both guided and unguided practice exercises - and an emphasis on world problems throughout.

The focus here is on hidden problems students typically have with decimals:

• - Misplacing the decimal point
• - Omitting zeros when adding and subtracting
• - Subtracting from a whole number

Students use the four operations with decimals, plus rounding decimals and making estimates - important topics in the current curricula and on tests.
