Multiplying a Decimal



In room 8 we made an investigation about multiplying decimals. The task was to roll the dice four times to make an estimated whole number.  Then record the number in the table. After we flipped the coin we watched if it landed on heads or tails. if it landed on heads the decimal point is placed one before the end of the number. If it landed on tails the point is placed in  the middle of the four digits. After doing this we multiply it by 10,000 and 1000. To multiply a decimal by 10, 100 and 1000 we had to move the point to the right according to how many zero's there are.
