This week we have concnetrated on practicing long multiplication including decimals. We then moved on to short division using the bus stop method. Intially we looked at this with a remainder, but we then moved on to calculating further into decimal places. 
This week we have been practising our short multiplication before moving on to learning how to complete long multiplication.

Our short multiplication work included multiplying decimals by integers. 

We will continue to practise our long multiplication next week, including decimals in our work. We will then look at word problems involving both short and long multiplication. 
Following on from last weeks work on addition and subtraction, this week we've been looking at short multiplication, including decimals. 

There is a video below to show how we set this out and the procedure for going through it methodicaly to hopefully avoid any mistakes. We will practice this next week before starting work on long multiplication.
