3.4 Multiplying Decimals

Focus: Multiply decimals using paper and pencil and Base-10-Blocks.

Blocks that are used are:

On your graph paper, draw blocks to model the number 2.53

Example: Multiply 1.3 by 2.1
Estimate first, then calculate using Paper & Pencil

Steps to follow:

1.) Multiply as if they were whole numbers.
2.) Count the number of digits after the decimal in the question.
There should be the same number of digits after the decimal in your answer.

Example 2 - Multiply 0.7 x 2.3

No Flats = 0.00
14 Rods = 1.40
21 units =

add ... =



Practice: In groups of 3-4, use your blocks and graph paper to complete the following questions:

1.2 x 0.3 = 3.2 x 1.4 =
2.1 x 1.2 = 4.1 x 0.2 =

2.0 x 0.8 = 3.4 x 1.6 =

Social 7 - Lord of the Flies

From now until Christmas Break, we will be exploring the importance of government and its' role in society through a film study of Lord of the Flies.

All video clips can be found on youtube (it's the old black and white version, Folks!)

Questions and activities about the film will be posted here, but it is important to get complete notes from a study buddy if you miss class.

There will be a project at the end, and you will want to have all the information available to you in order to do a very good job!

3.3 Adding and Subtracting Decimals

Focus … Adding and Subtracting Decimals to the thousandths position.

Explore pg. 96:

Add 5.763 + 3.94

First, use Front-End Estimation to estimate an answer.


Second, Add vertically by lining up the decimals; use 0 place holders so that each number has the same number of digits after the decimal.



The estimate was 8, so the calculated answer of 8.703 is reasonable.

Example pg. 97

Subtract 7. 456 - 3. 74

First, use Front-End Estimation to estimate an answer.


Second, Subtract vertically by lining up the decimals; use 0 place holders so that each number has the same number of digits after the decimal.
