Practise Multiplying Decimals with a Spooky Halloween Decimal Game!

Have your students mastered how to multiply multi-digit numbers? If so, they may be ready to put this skill into practice with multi-digit decimals. When multiplying these numbers, students use the same standard algorithm as they do with whole numbers but just have to position the decimal point correctly at the end.

To play, open up the presentation in Slideshow Mode. Students will solve 20 questions where they will multiply decimals up through the thousandths place.

Through this activity, students will show they can fluently multiply multi-digit decimals using the standard algorithm.
