Modeling Multiplication of Decimals with Decimal Squares
Activity: Print out the decimal square (right-click, print) shown below to make a model of the given problem, and then complete the following steps: Step #1: Horizontally (across), for 0.7, color seven (7) decimal strips the same color. Step #2: Vertically (up and down), for 0.6, color six (6) decimal strips a different color. You will color some of the same squares that you colored in the first step. Step #3: Count the number of squares that are filled with both colors. These squares are the hundredths squares and each one represents one-hundredth. Note: An example is provided in the lesson link to “Modeling Multiplication of Decimals”.
