Multiplying and Dividing Decimals - Presentation
This presentation aims to guide Year 6 students through the concepts of multiplying and dividing decimals by powers of 10. Through engaging visuals and interactive examples, students will develop a deep understanding of decimal operations and how to apply them in real-world scenarios.
Learning goals
- We are learning to multiply and divide decimals by whole numbers where the results are terminating decimals.
- We are learning to multiply and divide decimals by powers of 10.
- We are learning to multiply and divide decimals by multiples of powers of 10 using our knowledge of place value and multiplication facts (times tables), to estimate and check answers.
