BACK TO BACK

decimals · multiplying decimals

To multiply 2 decimal numbers – products up to thousandths.

BACK TO BACK is a Grade 5 decimal multiplication game designed around partners working without seeing each other’s boards. Each pair works from the same type of game cards and multiplies decimal numbers, producing products that can extend to the thousandths. The back-to-back setup keeps the focus on accurate computation because teams cannot simply copy another group’s work.

Use it for partner or small-group review after students have learned how to multiply decimals. It gives you a useful way to check place-value accuracy and to hear how students explain decimal placement when answers differ.
