Week 12

(Module 1 Topic 3 Lesson 3: Multiplying Decimals)

Learning objective = Returning to the area model, students represent the multiplication of two decimals less than one on a hundredths grid. They use estimation to reason about decimal point placement in multiplication problems and then analyze patterns to develop the algorithm for multiplying decimals. Students solve area and volume problems that require multiplying, adding, and subtracting decimals.

Parents can support learning at home by helping students connect this week’s lesson to real-life examples and practice explaining their thinking. Encourage your child to explain each step aloud rather than simply memorize a rule = SAMPLE TEST QUESTIONS + MORE QUESTIONS

***If your child needs more challenge, they can move at a faster pace by using this site to study the concepts of future lessons. Mr. Pierre will strive to prepare lessons two weeks ahead of the current week. Also, Khan Academy is a great enrichment resource***

Real-Life Math | Zoo Keeper, Hoofstock | Grades 3-5, 6-8 Area, Surface Area, and Volume Teaching and Lesson ResourcesIn this video, zookeeper Michelle Hatwood of the Phoenix Zoo explains how she uses math in her work with hoofstock animals, which include antelope, deer, zebra, giraffe, and rhinoceros. In the accompanying classroom activity, students solve problems that involve calculating with and converting among metric and customary measurement units. To get the most from this lesson, students should be familiar with measurement units in the customary and metric systems and be able to use a calculator to multiply and divide decimal numbers.
