Explore the practical uses of adding numbers with decimals as scholars add measurements and money. The first 12 equations are written vertically with half the sums requiring a dollar sign and half a unit of measurement. The next six are written horizontally, also with specific units. There are two word problems, one involving money and the other length. All of these have decimals to the hundredths place. Extend this concept by bringing in menus from favorite restaurants and having scholars order and add up totals.
