Grade 6 - Number

Standard 6.N.8 - Practice division word problems with decimals and whole numbers.

Included Skills:

Demonstrate an understanding of multiplication and division of decimals (1-digit whole number multipliers and 1-digit natural number divisors).
• Place the decimal point in a product, using front-end estimation; e.g., for 15.205 m × 4, think 15 m × 4, so the product is greater than 60 m.
• Place the decimal point in a quotient, using front-end estimation; e.g., for $26.83 ÷ 4, think $24 ÷ 4, so the quotient is greater than $6.
• Correct errors of decimal point placement in a given product or quotient without using paper and pencil.
• Predict products and quotients of decimals, using estimation strategies.
• Solve a given problem that involves multiplication and division of decimals using multipliers from 0 to 9 and divisors from 1 to 9.
