Math Test This Friday: Multiplication of Decimals

Concepts to know:

1)  Know how to multiply a decimal and a whole number using a 100 grid.

Example:  6  X  .2  =    

2)  Know how to multiply a decimal times a decimal using a 100 grid and writing a story.

Example:   .6  X .2 =       I have two tenths of a pizza.  I give John six tenths of my share.  How much does John have of the whole pizza?

3)  Understand why when multiplying two decimals the product gets smaller.

4)   Multiplying decimals bigger than 1.

Example:  45.2  X  .89 =

Note:  Be able to use estimation as a strategy to place the decimal point, the box method or counting decimal places (understand why you are counting decimal places if you use that strategy)

Math homework

Math:  For the following problems use your 100 grid graph paper and two colored pencils.

1)  .3 X 5 =

2)  6 X  .06=

3)  3 X  .6=

4)  .6  X  .3 =        write a story problem and graph this one

5)  5  X   .8 =

6)   .6  X  .2 =        write a story problem and graph this one

Math Homework

Math:  Please use your 100 grids as a model for each problem.  If you do not have them you can make them from your graph paper.

For the following problems write a story to represent the equation (like we did in class) and show a model with a 100 grid.


1)       .5  X  .9 =


2)       .3  X .2 =


3)       .7  X .8 =

4)  Why is the product always smaller then each factor when the factors are less than 1.  Explain.

5)  John says that .6 X .1 = .6   Is he correct?  Explain in detail why or why not.
