Listen to this song.

This song is available on Jim Thompson's "Work It!"

When you need to add a decimal
line up the dot.
Then all your values will be
in the right spot.
So line up all you’ve got.

Drop the decimal into your difference or sum.
It’s the same for addition as it is subtraction.

Line it up and drop it, forget about it.

Now work the problem carefully

And know that your enemy is speed

Yea, work the problem carefully

Slow down…
