Adding Positive and Negative Decimals: My Sum Is...

Match each sum to its description in this worksheet all about adding decimals! To start, seventh graders will find each sum in the left column. Then, learners must find the statement in the right column that describes the sum, such as “a negative even integer” or “the greatest sum”.

This resource challenges students to not only add positive and negative decimals, but to compare the relative value of their sums and think about its number’s properties. As learners gain operational fluency, they will also deepen their understanding of rational numbers and integers. This practice can support students as they start to subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers.
