Instructional Ideas
- Assign the interactive for extra practice after in-class instruction on multiplying decimals
- Work with a small group during math center rotations in completing the interactive—guide members through the practice, encourage them to use their notes
- Send the link home for optional practice outside of school
Classroom Considerations
- Create a free CK-12 account to access the interactive
- In case devices are not readily available in your classroom, coordinate time in the computer lab or reserve a technology cart
Pros
- The tool is straightforward, generally easy for users to move but do remind them to go slowly as numbers can be missed
- Correct answers are revealed if responses are incorrect
Cons
- The tool's numbers do not go as high as what is asked in the problems
