Lesson 8 Multiply Decimals

Learning Progression

their previous conceptual understanding of multiplication by using decimal grids and area models to multiply tenths and hundredths decimals. Students also use the partial product method to multiply decimals. Before multiplying, students estimate the product and use their estimate to check whether the product they calculate is reasonable.

In the next lesson students will learn to divide decimals. In Grade 6, students will continue to multiply and divide decimals.

In Grade 4 students built a conceptual understanding of multi-digit multiplication by multiplying with area models and finding partial products. Previously in Grade 5, students learned the standard multiplication algorithm and used it to multiply multi-digit whole numbers.

In this lesson students multiply decimals through hundredths. They use place-value understanding to make connections between patterns in decimal multiplication and whole-number multiplication. They expand

There is no new vocabulary. Review the following key terms.

• decimal a number containing a decimal point that separates a whole from fractional place values (tenths, hundredths, thousandths, and so on)

• product the result of multiplication

• factor a number that is multiplied

• place value the value assigned to a digit based on its position in a number; for example, the 2 in 3.52 is in the hundredths place and has a value of 2 hundredths or 0.02.

• to estimate to give an approximate number or answer based on mathematical thinking.

Lesson Vocabulary

• Understand place value.

• Know properties of operations.

• Recall basic multiplication facts.

Lesson 8 Multiply Decimals

Lesson 8 Multiply Decimals

Students use their understanding of multiplication to develop a model for multiplying decimals. They use a picture of tiles to multiply a decimal by a whole number. Then they express the product in tenths and as a decimal. Then students investigate the place-value patterns involved in multiplying by 0.1 and 0.01. They apply knowledge of place value to the problem of multiplying decimals.

• Work through Use What You Know as a class.

• Tell students that this page models a way to think about multiplying decimals.

• Have students read the problem at the top of the page.

• Ensure that students understand the relationship between the estimate and the actual product.

Mathematical Discourse 1 and 2

• Ask students to explain their answers for the last question.

SMP TIP Model with Mathematics Help students connect the visual model of six 0.8-inch tiles with the mathematical model “8 tenths 3 6.” Students can count the tiles to see that there are 6. They can read the problem and see in the illustration that each tile is 0.8 inch wide. Have a student explain what “length of tile 3 number of tiles” means. [It represents the total length of the row made from six 0.8-inch tiles.] (SMP 4)

Mathematical Discourse

1 Why do you estimate the product?

Estimating the product helps you know about how much the actual product should be.

2 Look at your estimate and look at the product you found. Does your answer make sense? How can you tell?

The product 4.8 inches makes sense because it is close to the estimate of 6. It is a little less because we rounded up for the estimate. The greatest place value of the estimate is ones—not tenths or tens—and the greatest place value of the actual product is also in the ones.

Concept ExtensionRepresent the total length in many forms.

• Write “48 tenths” on the board.

• Challenge students to come up with as many representations for “48 tenths” as they can.

a. First, estimate the length of the side of each tile to the nearest inch.

b. Estimate the length of the row of 6 tiles using your answer.

c. Will the actual length be more or less than your estimate?

d. Why?

e. The length of the side of each tile is tenths of an inch. There are tiles in the row.

f. How many tenths of an inch long is the row of tiles? tenths of an inch

g. Write the decimal equivalent:

The length of the row is inches.

h. Is your answer reasonable? Explain your thinking.

Find Out More

On the previous page you saw that 6 3 0.8 5 4.8. How is this related to 6 3 8 5 48?

Notice that the digits of 6 3 0.8 are the same as the digits of 6 3 8. The digits of their products are also the same. Why is this?

In earlier lessons, you learned that dividing a number by 10 shifts the decimal point to the left so the value of the number decreases by a factor of 10. Dividing a number by 10 has the same result as multiplying the number by one tenth, or 0.1.

Look at the table below to see patterns when you multiply numbers by 0.1 and 0.01.

Possible answer: 6 3 8 3 0.001 which equals 48 3 0.001. Multiplying a

number by 0.001 moves the decimal point three places to the left.

6 3 0.008 5 0.048.

• Read Find Out More as a class.

English Language Learners

• Have students read and interpret each row of the table. For example: 6 times 8 tenths is equivalent to 6 times 8 times 1 tenth, which equals 48 tenths, or 4 and eight tenths.

• Have students read the products in the table: 48, 4 and 8 tenths or 48 tenths, 48 hundredths. Point out that the digits of the products are the same, but the actual value of the products is different.

• Discuss with students that a tenths decimal such as 0.8 can be broken apart as 8 3 0.1. Similarly, a hundredths decimal such as 0.08 can be broken apart as 8 3 0.01 and then 0.01 can be further broken apart as 0.1 3 0.1.

Mathematics PRACTICE AND PROBLEM SOLVING

English Language Learners

Explain that a mathematical expression is a way to represent a quantity or a mathematical relationship. Students may be familiar with facial expressions or with verbal expressions (or idioms). In general, an “expression” is a way to communicate something. This is true in math, as well.

Visual ModelUse a place-value chart to represent each product.

• Display a place-value chart that includes hundreds through hundredths.

• Write each product from the table in the place-value chart.

• Have students describe how the place-value chart shows the change in the value of the digits.

Real-World Connection

Discuss how items are priced using dollars and cents. Remind students that cents are hundredths of a dollar ($0.01). Have students look up prices of various school supplies, such as pencils, notebooks, or erasers. Students may not yet be ready to multiply to find the cost of 2, 4, or 5 notebooks; by the end of this lesson they should be able to compute these prices.

Another approach would be to bring in various kinds of produce and weigh a single tomato, potato, onion, or pepper on a scale with a decimal read-out. Ask students how they could find the weight of 6 or 7 onions or peppers.

Students use decimal grids and partial products to multiply a hundredths decimal by a whole number. Then students revisit this problem and apply knowledge of place value and expanded form to multiply hundredths.

• Read the problem at the top of the page as a class. Invite volunteers to explain their estimate of the solution.

Picture It• Discuss Picture It with students. Have a

volunteer explain how the product of 3 and 2.75 is represented. For example, a student might point out that there are three groups of grids where 2 whole grids and 75 hundredths of a grid are shaded.

Model It• Discuss Model It with students. Have

students identify each partial product.

• Have students look in detail at the sum of partial products. Discuss why each partial product is rewritten in hundredths. [Numbers are added by combining like place values.]

• Have students check the solution against their estimates to see if the solution makes sense.

Students study two models for multiplying tenths by tenths. The first model is a grid showing the intersection of 1.2 and 1.4. The second model uses partial products. Then students revisit this problem and apply knowledge of place value and expanded form to multiply tenths by tenths.

• Read the problem at the top of the page as a class.

Mathematical Discourse 1

Picture It• Read Picture It. Point out that the width

represents 1 and 2 tenths and the length (or height) represents 1 and 4 tenths. Ask a volunteer to explain why each small square represents 0.01 square meter. [Each side of a small square is 0.1 meter. So the area of a small square is 0.1 3 0.1, or 0.01 square meter.]

Model It• Read Model It with students. Remind

students that multiplying 1 tenth by 1 tenth results in 1 hundredth.

• Explain that partial products are a representation of the distributive property: 1.2 3 1.4 is equivalent to 1.2 3 (1 1 0.4), which is equivalent to (1 1 0.2) 3 1 1 (1 1 0.2) 3 0.4. Then show students how this leads to the 4 partial products shown. Explain that breaking apart a factor can help a student think about simpler multiplication facts.

Mathematical Discourse

1 How can you tell that this is a multiplication problem?

The problem describes a rectangle with a given length and width and asks for the area of the rectangle. The operation that deals with finding the area of a rectangle is multiplication. When you model the problem with a drawing, it shows four rows with two squares in each

row. This is multiplication.

2 How are the area model and the partial products related?

The area model shows 4 sections of area, each in hundredths, which are represented by the 4 partial products written as hundredths.

Visual ModelModel a simpler problem.

• If students struggle with the decimal area model, illustrate the problem as whole-number multiplication.

• Draw a rectangle that is 12 units wide and 14 units tall. Separate the 14 units with a line to show 10 units and 4 units and label the rectangle accordingly.

• Ask students to identify the area of each section and write an equation to show each: 12 3 10 5 120 square units, 12 3 4 5 48 square units.

• Review units of area: 1 tenth unit 3 1 tenth unit 5 1 hundredth square unit. Invite a volunteer to explain the sum of the the areas of whole rectangle: 120 1 48 5 168 hundredths square units.

Aaron chose C as the correct answer. How did he get that answer?

Will the product be greater than or less than 1.05?

Possible student work:

1.2 5 12 tenths

9 3 12 tenths 5 108 tenths

108 tenths 5 10.8

10.8 centimeters

Possible answer: He correctly multiplied 1.05 and 0.7.

67

18 Solution

10.8 centimeters; See possible work on the Student Book page. Students could solve the problem by using place-value understanding.

DOK 2

19 Solution

C; Students could solve the problem by using a place-value approach, first multiplying 105 by 7, and then shifting the decimal point 3 places to the left.

Explain to students why the other three answer choices are not correct:

A is not correct because an estimate places the product closer to 1.

B is not correct because the answer should be less than 1.05.

D is not correct because the place value of the digits is not correct.

Hands-On Activity Use a place-value chart to multiply decimals.

Materials: cards showing the digits 0–9, cards showing the fractions 1 ·· 10 , 1 ··· 100 , 1 ····· 1,000 , poster board, markers

Have students create a large place-value chart showing thousands

through thousandths. Give students a problem such as 13.2 3 0.08.

Have students write the product in expanded form:

13.2 3 0.08 5 1 132 3 1 ·· 10 2 3 1 8 3 1 ··· 100 2 5 (132 3 8) 3 1 1 ·· 10 3 1 ·· 10 3 1 ·· 10 2 .Students multiply the whole numbers and place cards in the

place-value chart to represent the product (1,056). Have students set

out cards for the factors of 1 ·· 10 . For each factor, students shift the

product 1,056 one place value to the right, effectively moving the

decimal point one place to the left. [1.056]

Repeat with other problems, including examples where the solutions are in thousandths, hundredths, and tenths.

Challenge Activity Write multiplication word problems.

Have students write multiplication word problems that involve multiplying decimal numbers. Students should use a tenths or hundredths decimal number for one or both factors. One of the factors could also be a money amount given in dollars and cents. Suggest students limit the factors to 3 digits or fewer. Have students exchange their problem with a partner to solve.

Common Misconceptions and Errors

Errors may result if students:

• place the decimal point incorrectly.

• ignore the decimal points and multiply as if the factors are whole numbers.

• make a basic multiplication error or an error in adding the partial products.

• add instead of multiplying.
