About Multiplying Decimals

What this skill is

Multiplying decimals executes whole-number multiplication algorithms and determines decimal placement in the product by counting total decimal places across both factors.

When children learn it

Multiplying decimals to hundredths is taught in 5th grade (CCSS 5.NBT.B.7).

Teaching Tips

  • Teach the two-step rule: (1) ignore the decimals and multiply like regular whole numbers. (2) Count how many total digits sit behind the decimals in both factors, and hop that many places from the right in your answer.

Common Mistakes

  • Trying to line up decimal points vertically when setting up multiplication (lining up is only for adding and subtracting!).
  • Miscounting the total decimal hops in both factors.
  • Dropping leading zeros before placing the decimal point in small products (like 0.2 x 0.3 = 0.06, writing 0.6 instead of 0.06).
