Decimal Multiplication with Models

This video tutorial covers multiplying decimals using models. It begins with an introduction to multiplication terms and the learning target of finding products of whole numbers and decimals. The video demonstrates how to multiply whole numbers by decimals using repeated addition and models, and then explains multiplying decimals by decimals using a hundredths grid. The concept of 'part of a part' is illustrated with examples, and practice problems are provided to reinforce learning.
