Rules of Number
When you are multiplying place value you always go to the left. If you are dividing place value you go to the right. If you are multiplying or dividing with decimals you will always have to add a decimal point near the ones. You can never put a number in the decimal point column. When multiplying a number the number always turns out bigger. If you are multiplying without decimals then you can just add a zero (0).
Misconceptions
Never add the zero (0) if you are multiplying or dividing decimals you dont add a zero. The decimal point alway stays where it is, it never moves.
