Multiplying Decimals. A mathematics teacher guidance resource
PDF document

Multiplying Decimals

This resource, from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching, illustrates the common mistakes students make when multiplying two decimal values. It suggests that the language used could be adjusted so that the term times is interchanged with of, thus one-tenth of one-tenth is equal to one one-hundredth. Practice of multiplying…

Adding with Negative Numbers

A number line is used in this resource, from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching, to illustrate how to solve a calculation involving negative numbers. To help correct misconceptions regarding these, the term taking away is used to represent minus and giving back for plus. Thus -8 +6 is read as taking away 8 and giving…
