Understanding decimals is essential in handling money, measurements, and data — all of which often involve multiplying or dividing by 10 or 100.
Decimal multiplication and division by 10,100 supports real-life applications like handling money and measurements, and builds a strong foundation for future math concepts.
To introduce the concept of multiplying and dividing decimals by 10 and 100, our Grade 4 learners took part in a dynamic number card activity that made math come alive!
Each student held a digit or a decimal point, forming decimal numbers. As they multiplied or divided, they physically shifted their positions left or right, showing how each digit’s place and value changes. This fun and engaging activity helped students clearly visualize how decimal place value works, making an often tricky topic both interactive and unforgettable!
