This week in 6th grade math the class is continuing our second unit on working with really large and small numbers. We started the week learning about powers of 10. We learned how to move the decimal when working with powers of 10 with both negative and positive exponents. This was a difficult lesson for many students. They often got confused about how many places to move the decimal and in what direction. We continued to work on this skill today in class and we also reviewed using the estimation strategy to know where to put the decimal when multiplying decimals. On Thursday, we will review how to use the lattice multiplication strategy to multiply decimals. We will end the week practicing how to divide whole numbers.
