Understanding add decimals in columns

Adding decimals in columns means stacking the numbers so their decimal points line up vertically, then adding each column from right to left just like whole numbers. At Grade 5 this careful alignment is what keeps tenths with tenths and hundredths with hundredths, so the total lands in the right places. The decimal point in the answer drops straight down from the points above.

To add 2.5 + 1.25, write 2.50 above 1.25 so the points align, add to get 3.75, and place the point beneath the others. A common mistake is right-aligning the digits as if they were whole numbers, which lines up 2.5 and 1.25 wrongly and spoils the sum. A helpful tip is to fill empty places with zeros so every number has the same number of decimal places before adding, which keeps the columns tidy and prevents a stray digit landing in the wrong place.
