For example: 3.77 + 4.28 Firstly, line the numbers up correctly and add a decimal point in the answer bar: U t h 3 7 7 + 4 2 8

U t h 3 7 7 + 4 2 8 Then add up the hundredths:

U t h 3 7 7 + 4 2 8 Then add up the hundredths: 7 + 8 = 15

U t h 3 7 7 + 4 2 8 5 Then add up the hundredths: 7 + 8 = 15 The 5 is written in the hundredths column 5

U t h 3 7 7 + 4 2 8 5 Then add up the hundredths: 7 + 8 = 15 The 5 is written in the hundredths column and the 1 is carried into the tenths column and written below the answer bar. 5 1

U t h 3 7 7 + 4 2 8 Now add up the tenths: 5 1

U t h 3 7 7 + 4 2 8 Now add up the tenths: 7 + 2 + 1 = 10 tenths 5 1

U t h 3 7 7 + 4 2 8 5 Now add up the tenths: 7 + 2 + 1 = 10 tenths The 0 is written in the tenths column 5 1

U t h 3 7 7 + 4 2 8 5 Now add up the tenths: 7 + 2 + 1 = 10 tenths The 0 is written in the tenths column and the 1 is carried into the UNITS column and written below the answer bar. 5 1 1

U t h 3 7 7 + 4 2 8 Finally, add up the units: 5 1 1

U t h 3 7 7 + 4 2 8 Finally, add up the units: 3 + 4 + 1 = 8 5 1 1

U t h 3 7 7 + 4 2 8 8 5 Finally, add up the units: 3 + 4 + 1 = 8 The 8 is written in the Units column 8 5 1 1

U t h 3 7 7 + 4 2 8 8 5 1 1
