UNIT 3: Multiply Whole Numbers and Decimals<br />

LESSON 10.4<br />

PURPOSE OF<br />

LESSON:<br />

LAUNCH:<br />

Introduce students<br />

to concepts<br />

Thousand grids<br />

EXPLORE:<br />

Work with the<br />

concept. Focus on<br />

students “doing<br />

mathematics.”<br />

Place the Decimal Point<br />

Number Sense: 2.1<br />

Add, subtract, multiply, and divide with decimals; add with negative integers;<br />

subtract positive integers from negative integers; and verify the<br />

reasonableness of the results.<br />

Number Sense: 1.1<br />

Estimate, round, and manipulate very large and very small numbers.<br />

• To use estimation and patterns to place the decimal point.<br />

• To understand that to estimate, you round each decimal to the greatest<br />

place value, and multiply as with whole numbers.<br />

• Explore two strategies for estimating decimal products:<br />

Alternative Teaching Strategy, T.E. p. 164B (algorithm)<br />

Alternative Teaching Strategy, T.E. p. 166 (number line)<br />

• Connect the two strategies. Highlight the pattern of total number of<br />

decimal places in the factors is equal to the number of decimal places in<br />

the product.<br />

• Suggestion: Use the context below to practice strategies:<br />

“Sam used a calculator to do multiplication problems, but he forgot<br />

to put in the decimal point. His teacher says he needs to place the<br />

decimal point correctly in the problems.”<br />

How would you explain your strategy for correctly placing the decimal<br />

points?<br />

3.1 x 6.1 = 1891 3.2 x 4.5 = 1440 2.7 x 5.6 = 1512<br />

31 x 6,1 = 1891 32 x 4.5 = 1440 2.7 x 56 = 1512<br />

• Discuss the reasoning students used to place the decimal point. If<br />

estimation does not come up, ask how it could be used.<br />

• Ask the students to estimate and then find the exact product for 31 x 61.<br />

(Prompt students to notice that multiplying whole numbers results in the<br />

same digits in the product as multiplying with decimals.)<br />

• If students come up with the rule for counting decimal places, record it, and<br />

ask them to continue to test it out to see if they can eventually figure out a<br />

way to explain why it works.<br />

Books closed: Learn, p. 164. Put “Tip to Tip” on the board/overhead.<br />

Read with students.<br />

• Allow students to solve the problem and determine the placement of the<br />

decimal point. (connect to estimation strategy)<br />

• Remind students to estimate the product and place the decimal point<br />

where it makes sense.<br />
