Original Prompt

Create a one-page worksheet titled "Tuesday Morning work" with four problems focused on multiplying decimals using the standard algorithm.

This resource focuses on multiplying decimals using the standard algorithm. It begins with a clear learning objective, which is for students to demonstrate proficiency in multiplying decimals through guided practice and independent application. The document provides a worked example that breaks down the multiplication process into three essential steps: first, multiplying the numbers as whole numbers without considering decimals; second, counting the total number of decimal places in both factors; and third, placing the decimal point in the product according to the combined number of decimal places from both factors. To reinforce understanding, independent practice problems are included, alongside a self-check answer key for students to verify their work.
