Study Guide For Wednesday's Math Test!

Concepts to know:

Know how to multiply a whole number times a decimal. Make sure to be able to illustrate what is happening on a 100 grid. Example 3 X .2= (This means 3 groups of .2)


Know how to multiply a decimal times a decimal. Make sure to be able to illustrate what is happening on a 100 grid. Example .3 X .2= (This means .3 of .2 or I have .3 of a pizza. I give Jane .2 of my share. How much does Jane have of the WHOLE pizza)


Know how to estimate how big a product will be and then place the decimal point.
For example. .49 X 12.8= (I know .49 is about .5 or half. 12.8 is about 13. half of 13 is 6.5)
Then multiply as if there are no decimals 49 X 128 You can place decimal point based on estimate or count decimal places.

Know how to divide a whole number and decimal using base 10 blocks. 2.4 divided by 8= (know what question this asks)


Know how to divide a decimal by a decimal using base 10 blocks. 2.4 divided by .8=


Know how to divide two decimals by making the divisor a whole number. For example 43.2 divided by .6 will have the same quotient as 432 divided by 6 since both the dividend and divisor got ten times bigger.

Study and reread your notes.
