MORNING WORK: Monday DG

MATH: Finish Journal pages 268 and 269, Study Link 9.8 (Use SRB p. 18 to help you with partial-products multiplication.) 

EXAMPLE: 8  x  2.12 = ?

Step 1: Use rounding to change the numbers into "easy" numbers that you know the facts for.

(8  x  2 = 16)

Step 2: Use the estimated product to help you figure out where to put the decimal in your final product. (The answer should be in the tens.)

Step 3: Multiply the real numbers without the decimal.

(8  x  212 = 1696)

Step 4: Use your estimated product (16) to tell you where to put the decimal (16.96).
