5th Grade Sep 24-28

This week in Math we are working on multiplying decimals. This is a really hard concept to grasp for students. I really want students to understand that when we are multiplying decimals we are really finding groups of that decimal. For example, if the problem is 5 x 0.34 then we are finding 5 groups of 0.34. It always helps if we think of it in money form. We are finding 5 groups of $0.34. The rule students need to understand is that when we multiply decimals, we do it the same as whole numbers, but our answer should have as many decimal places as our problem. For example, if we have 3.4 x .98, there are 3 decimal places so our answer should have 3 decimal places as well, 3.332. If you could help your students understand this that would be wonderful! In writing, student’s Autobiographies were due yesterday, Monday September 24^th. This week we will be doing Author’s Chair and students will be presenting their Autobiography to the class.
