About this worksheet
Each worksheet has 6 problems reading a decimal product from a shaded hundredths grid.
Every other worksheet on this standard uses fractions; this one illustrates a DECIMAL product, which the standard also names. Four columns shaded one way and three rows the other cross in twelve squares, so 0.4 times 0.3 is 0.12 and the twelve is a whole number multiplication sitting inside the picture. It is also the model that shows why the product is smaller than both factors, which is the fact about decimal multiplication students refuse to believe. Sheets can be customized, turned into flash cards, or assigned for online learning.
