Anuban Jhumphon Phonphisai School
Intensive English Program (IEP)
LESSON PLAN
Foreign Teacher: Mr. Kamarudin Walis Kamid
Subject: Mathematics
Grade and Section: 5/6
Projected Timeframe: 1 hour
Topic: Multiplying Decimals
I. Objectives
Students will be able to;
apply knowledge of multiplying integers to multiplying decimals,
use compensation to solve decimal multiplications,
apply number sense to correctly place the decimal point in a decimal multiplication,
estimate the product of two decimals and use this to correctly place the decimal point in a
calculation.
The students will be able to multiply numbers with decimals using the standard algorithm.
Students should already be familiar with
multiplying by 10 and 100 by moving digits to the left,
dividing by 10 and 100 by moving digits to the right,
reading and writing decimals with up to two decimal places,
using compensation in a calculation (making an adjustment to a calculation to make the
numbers easier and then compensating for this by adjusting the answer at the end).
II. Essence / concept and Key words
And it’s always important to remember some keywords the remind us that we want to multiply,
such as:
Product Multiply
Times Addition
Multiplied by point
Of Add
Each Decimals
Twice place values
Triple count numbers
III. Introducing the Lesson
In today’s lesson students will be learning how to multiply numbers that have decimals. students
will be applying their knowledge of decimals to calculate the total amount.
I begin today’s lesson by memorize the numbers from 1 to 100, memorize the English alphabet,
days of the week, months of the year, 8 planets in the solar system and the 10 ASEAN
country. Because math is not only about number is all about letters and start with English
conversation.
IV. Demonstrating and Practicing the Concept
In order to introduce the concept of multiplying decimals I introduce first the vocabulary word.
I gave an example on white board. After I give the example, I ask the students to go to the front
and answer the question written in the white board.
Okay so far who can share their thinking on how we multiply numbers with decimals?
I use the same process when completing the second portion. After having students share their
work, I ask students to think about the similarities and differences of multiplying decimals and
adding/subtracting decimals. I have students share responses first with their seat mate and then
have them share out to the whole group.
My goal is that students are able to amass that when you multiply decimals you have to count the
number of decimal places in the factors and then put that number of decimal places into the
product. This is different from adding/subtracting decimals in which you have to line up the
decimal and bring the decimal down into the answer.
Activity:
multiplying decimals tool
Use these free starter questions to:
a) Get students thinking about how changing one number in a calculation effects the answer;
b) Explain that if we know the answer to one calculation, such as 32 × 46, we can use this to work
out the answers to related calculations involving decimals, such as 3.2 × 46, by looking at how the
numbers have changed. If one of the numbers gets 10 times bigger, the answer also gets ten
times bigger;
c) Check students can multiply two- and three-digit numbers, so that they could calculate the
answer to an initial calculation, and then use this to work out related decimal calculations;
These activities require students to multiply decimals together, without being given an initial,
related, calculation to help them get started:
This means that when we multiply two decimal numbers together, we are still just multiplying two
factors.
And how do we indicate multiplication?
When multiplication was first introduced to us, we always used the “x” symbol to indicate
multiplication. But as we progress toward Algebra, we will need to add a raised dot and
parentheses to our notation.

VI. Process of Learning Management
How to Multiply Decimals Step by Step?
So, now that we know our vocabulary and our notation, how do we multiply decimals?
With three easy steps:
First, we write each factor vertically, placing the number with the most digits on top, lining up the
last digits on the right and ignoring the decimal points.
Written Multiplication
Next, we count the decimal places in the factors and rewrite the problem without decimals. The
number of decimal places indicates the location of the decimal point in the product.
Counting Decimal Places
Finally, we multiply the factors together and put our decimal point back in. We do this by starting
from the last digit, and counting left the number of places we found in step two as noted by

How to Place the Decimal in The Product multiplication with one decimal?
Now what you will notice, as you progress through math grades, is that each grade digs a little
deeper into the topic of decimal multiplication.
VII. Guided Practice
After the activity, see to it that the teacher immediately sets remedial for those who got the wrong
answers.
Teacher ask the students.
Did you learn something from the activity?
How did you get the answer?
Did you follow the steps?
VIII. Support
Students who do not know all their multiplication facts may use a multiplication chart as they solve
the problems in the independent work section.
Enrichment:
Have students write their own problems with multiple operations for their peers to solve.
IX. Assessment
Students will show that they understand multiplying tenths by tenths equals hundredths by
completing a worksheet where they will use a hundredths grid to complete tenths-times-tenths
problems. They will analyze a model to identify the expression represented within the model and
explain why multiplying tenths by tenths equals hundredths
X. Review and closing
Ask students to discuss how they plan on remembering the multiplying decimals.
And give Homework about multiplying decimals.
