Decimal Move

decimals · multiplying decimals by whole numbers

To multiply a decimal by a one-digit whole number.

Decimal Move is a Grade 5 decimal multiplication game with a checkers-style board. Players move decimal and whole-number pieces diagonally, and a capture depends on correctly multiplying the values involved. The familiar board-game movement gives decimal-by-whole-number multiplication a purpose inside each strategic decision instead of presenting products as isolated exercises.

Use it for partner practice after students understand decimal multiplication and need more repetition. Because a successful move depends on a correct product, students naturally check computation as part of play.
