Subtracting Decimals: Decimal Line-Up #2

Subtract decimals to the thousandths place in this essential fifth-grade worksheet! For each decimal subtraction problem, students will rewrite the equation in the place value boxes, making sure they line up the two decimals correctly. Then, they will solve the subtraction equation and write the difference. 

This worksheet is designed to help students improve their ability to write and solve subtraction problems vertically while lining up the place values of the numbers. Students will not only test their mental math and subtraction skills, but also their knowledge of decimals and place value. The skills students practice in this worksheet will be vital as students continue in more advanced math skills, such as more decimal and fraction operations.
