Multiplying decimals in sixth grade


We multiplied decimals by whole numbers today. After remembering to line up decimals in an addition or subtraction problem I had to reinforce that we do NOT line up decimals when writing the multiplication problem. Tomorrow we will multiply with both numbers being decimals.

In language we reviewed skills, such as using apostrophes correctly and finding the best way to write a sentence by choosing the best choice.

In spelling we worked with synonyms and analogies. They did quite well with the analogies. I was happily surprised. These can give students a very rough time!

We will be taking our 9-weeks math test next week, as well as our language test. We are reviewing the skills we have covered in both subjects.

Have a great Thursday!
