Subtracting Decimals with Hundredths Grids — Easy Worksheet 2
Grade 5 · MathSheets Name: ____________________ Date: __________
On blank grids, shade the first number and cross out the number you take away, then count what is left. When the grids are already shaded, read the numbers from the picture. Check your work with the standard algorithm.
How to solve
Each grid is one whole, each column is one tenth (0.1) and each small square is one hundredth (0.01). To find 2.16 − 0.37, shade 2 whole grids and 16 squares of a third grid. Then cross out 37 shaded squares, starting from the last ones shaded. Count the shaded squares that are not crossed out: 1.79. Check with the standard algorithm: line up the decimal points and subtract like whole numbers, regrouping when you need to.
Example
0.34 − 0.12 = ___

💡 Shade 79 squares for 0.79, then cross out 15 of them for 0.15: 79 − 15 = 64 squares are left. Each square is 0.01, so that is 64 hundredths, or 0.64. Check with the standard algorithm: Line up the decimal points, then work place by place from the right. Hundredths: 9 − 5 = 4. Tenths: 7 − 1 = 6. So 0.79 − 0.15 = 0.64.

💡 Shade 82 squares for 0.82, then cross out 60 of them for 0.60: 82 − 60 = 22 squares are left. Each square is 0.01, so that is 22 hundredths, or 0.22. Check with the standard algorithm: Line up the decimal points, then work place by place from the right. Hundredths: 2 − 0 = 2. Tenths: 8 − 6 = 2. So 0.82 − 0.60 = 0.22.

💡 Shade 88 squares for 0.88, then cross out 13 of them for 0.13: 88 − 13 = 75 squares are left. Each square is 0.01, so that is 75 hundredths, or 0.75. Check with the standard algorithm: Line up the decimal points, then work place by place from the right. Hundredths: 8 − 3 = 5. Tenths: 8 − 1 = 7. So 0.88 − 0.13 = 0.75.

💡 Subtract to find the part taken away: 0.26 − 0.16. 26 squares are shaded and 16 are left, so 26 − 16 = 10 squares are crossed out.
