Learning objectives

You will learn to subtract the decimals.

Learning effect

  • You subtract decimals both mentally and in a written algorithm.

Introduction. Review the rules and methods of adding decimal fractionsdecimal fractionsdecimal fractions. In which situations do we most often encounter the subtraction of decimal fractionsdecimal fractionsdecimal fractions?
Prices of sample commodities before and after price reduction

Notebook

Pencil case

Pen

Pencil

Before price reduction

15,60 zł

34,99 zł

5,60 zł

1,60 zł

After price reduction

9,40 zł

32,55 zł

4,20 zł

0,90 zł

On the basis of the table, answer the questions

  • How much less does a notebook cost after price reduction?

  • How much has the price of the notebook been reduced?

  • How much has the price of the pen been reduced?
    Formulate the principle of the mental subtraction of decimal fractionsdecimal fractionsdecimal fractions and compare with the following expression

  • By subtracting two decimal fractionsdecimal fractionsdecimal fractions, we subtract the whole from the whole, and the fractional parts from the fractional parts, e.g.

Task 1

Calculate in memory.

a) 4,758 - 2,452
b) 12,52 - 4,20
c) 14,6 - 5,2
d) 0,825 - 0,520

Task 2

Think how to subtract decimals, in which the number of digits after the decimal point is not the same. Perform calculations.

a) 3,56 - 2,5
b) 5,2 - 3,15
c) 12,54 - 2,125

Conclusion:

nagranie abstraktu

To subtract fractions with a different number of digits, first expand or simplify the fractions so that the number of digits after the decimal point matches. Then perform the subtraction.

Task 3

Open the slideshow and observe how we subtract the decimal fractionsdecimal fractionsdecimal fractions in written algorithms.
After completing the task, present the results of your observations.

  • Subtracting decimal fractions in a written algorithmsubtraction of decimal fractions in a written algorithmSubtracting decimal fractions in a written algorithm is performed in a similar way as in a written algorithm of subtraction of natural numbers.

  • The numbers should be written in such a way that the commas in both numbers are lined one after the other vertically.

  • We subtract the whole from the whole, the tenths from the tenths, the hundredths from the hundredths, etc.

Task 4

Perfom subtraction in a written algorithm.

a) 31,46 - 12,32
b) 16,70 - 9,74
c) 42,8 - 36,49
d) 19,4‑6,728
e) 127,28 - 14,56

Task 5

Solve word problems below. Perform a written subtraction algorithm and check its correctness by adding.

  1. The box together with the fruit weighs 11.5 kg. How much does the fruit weigh if the empty box weighs 0.96 kg?

  2. The Elbląg Canal is 62.5 km long, and the Augustowski Canal is 80 km. How many kilometers is the Elbląg Canal shorter than the Augustowski Canal?

  3. In the morning there were 350,5 kg of sweets in the store, and 275,75 kg in the evening. How many kilos of candies were sold?

Task 6

An extra task
Calculate, with the order of operations in mind.

a) 325,32 + 25,32 - 201,25
b) 215,65 - 26,35 + 45,32
c) 215,65 - (23,35 + 45,32)

  • The numbers should be written in such a way that the commas in both numbers are lined one after the other vertically. Then we subtract the whole from the whole, the tenthstenthstenths from the tenthstenthstenths, the hundredths from the hundredths, etc.

  • If there is a different number of digits after the decimal point, we extend or simplify the fractions, so that the number of digits after the decimal point matches.

  • We check the subtraction result by adding.

Interaktywna gra, polegająca na łączeniu wyrazów w pary w ciągu jednej minuty. Czas zaczyna upływać wraz z rozpoczęciem gry. Jeden ruch to odkrywanie najpierw jednej potem drugiej karty z wyrazem. Każdy wyraz jest odczytywany. Kolejny ruch to odkrywanie trzeciej i czwartej karty. W ten sposób odsłuchasz wszystkie wyrazy. Nawigacja z poziomu klawiatury za pomocą strzałek, odsłuchiwanie wyrazów enterem lub spacją. Znajdź wszystkie pary wyrazów.
