Today we are learning to multiply decimals!

Step One:
Watch this video and take notes (you can watch it more than once).

Step Two:
Click the green "Practice this Concept" button right above the video. (Use scratch paper!)
If you are having trouble, click the orange "I'd Like a Hint" button on the right.

Step Three:
Do the problems 1 - 12 on page 28 in your Math Spiral.

Step Four:
If you have time, go back and practice more on Khan Academy, or try the practice for dividing decimals.

It's time to practice and review some basic skills!
