About this worksheet

To add decimals in a column, line up the decimal points so that tenths sit under tenths and hundredths under hundredths, then add from the right as with whole numbers. On this fifth grade sheet a child adds twelve pairs of decimals written in columns, each with the same number of decimal places so the points line up. Each version has different numbers, and the answer key shows every sum.
