Grade 6 - Number
Standard 6.N.8 - Solve multiplication equations with decimals.
Included Skills: Decimals, Multiplication
Demonstrate an understanding of multiplication and division of decimals (1-digit whole number multipliers and 1-digit natural number divisors). • Achievement Indicators • Students who have achieved this outcome(s) should be able to: - Place the decimal point in a product using front-end estimation, e.g., for 15.205 m × 4, think 15 m × 4, so the product is greater than 60 m. - Place the decimal point in a quotient using front-end estimation, e.g., for $25.83 ÷ 4, think $24 ÷ 4, so the quotient is greater than $6. - Correct errors of decimal point placement in a given product or quotient without using paper and pencil. - Predict products and quotients of decimals using estimation strategies. - Solve a given problem that involves multiplication and division of decimals using multipliers from 0 to 9 and divisors from 1 to 9.
