Grade 6 - Number

Standard 6.N.8 - Solve multiplication equations with decimals.

Included Skills:

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.
