Objective
Using calculators, students will note patterns when multiplying decimals.
Steps
-
Students multiply 15 times 100, 10, 1, 0.1, and 0.01 and then predict the product of 15 × 0.001. They look for a pattern.
-
Using the same idea from step one, students work with multiplying by 0.02 and 0.05. They're honing their pattern from step one.
-
Finally, students practice predicting decimal multiplication problems and checking with their calculators.
