Okay Lovely. Please write the problem first Lovely: 0.316 + 0.268
then solve. 0.316
+ 0.268
0.584
Correct! Thank Lovely. Please, take your seat.
Who wants to answer number 2? Sonny: I, teacher!

Very good, Sonny.
Now, count the numbers of correct and then
pass the papers in front.

4. Review of the Past Lesson

Let’s have a short recap about what we
discussed yesterday.
Jamal, what was our lesson yesterday? Jamal: Our lesson yesterday was about
adding and subtracting decimals.
That’s right! Adding and subtracting
decimals.
Now, who can tell the class the first rule
in adding and subtracting decimals? Aragon? Aragon: To add and subtract decimals, write
the decimal numbers vertically and align the
decimal points.
Very good, Aragon!
And what about the last rule? Najmah, please Najmah: Align the decimal point in the answer
stand. with the decimal points of the terms of the
addition or subtraction.
Correct! Please, take your sit Najmah.

Class, that is what exactly you need to

remember when adding and subtracting
decimals.

I have here 2 examples for you to

answer. You can come to the board and solve
the problem.
Aragon for problem number 1. Vivi Ann for
number 2.

1. Add 14.23 and 8.1946

2. Subtract 8.36 from 19.12

Very good! All of you got the correct answer.

This means that you really understood our
lesson yesterday.

B. Motivation

Before we proceed to our proper lesson today,

I will teach you a new dance steps.
Do you like dancing? Yes, teacher.
Okay, everybody stand and we will do the
Mathematics Dance Challenge. Students stand up.
(Dance Challenge End)
You may now take your seats.
How are you feeling now?
Alright! Now, we move on to our lesson today. Thank you, teacher.
We feel so energize now, teacher.
Alright!

C. Lesson Proper
1. Presentation
Our lesson today is Multiplying decimals.
Everybody, please read the first rule. Multiply decimals in the same way whole
numbers are multiplied.
Okay.
Example:
1. 1.2 x 3. 6

2. 1.42 x 1.16

Take note class, that the process in multiplying

decimals is the same with multiplying whole
numbers. The only difference is the presence
of decimal points.
Always remember that the number of decimal
places in the product is equal to the total
number of decimal places in the factors.

Now, I want you to read the problem on the

board. A cyclist can travel at a speed of about 4.25
kilometres per hour. At that rate, how far can
he travel in 3.75 hours a day, five times a
week?
Okay. To find how far a cyclist can travel in
3.75 hours a day, five times a week, we use
multiplication of decimals in the expression:
4.25 x 3.75 x 5.

4.25
x 3.75
2125
2975
1275__
159375
x 5
79.6875

Do you understand how to multiply decimals Yes, teacher!

now?
Very good!

Remember:
There is a shorter way of multiplying decimals
with zeros in the factors, class.
Example:

1. 3.47 x 0.02

To solve this in a short and simple way, just

multiply the factors as whole numbers.

1. 347
x 2
694 (Append zero to the left of 6 to have 4
decimal places.
The final answer is 0.0694

Keep in mind that when the number of decimal

places in the product is less than the number
of decimal places in the factors, append zeros
to the left of the number to fill up the missing
digits.

Did you understand, class? Yes, teacher.

Very good!
