Decimal Multiplication Concepts

The video tutorial on Underwater Math teaches how to multiply decimals using models. It begins with multiplying a decimal by another decimal using a grid model to visualize the process. The tutorial then demonstrates multiplying a decimal by a whole number using base ten blocks. The video concludes with a summary and encouragement to continue practicing these techniques.
