LI : How to multiply decimal numbers, using algorithim

For our learning we had been learning about decimals and we have been learning how to do the calculus of multiplying two decimal numbers together! During the process of this insight to these types of equations, we have now the knowledge on how the method works towards multiplying two decimal places together, which was very interesting on finding out because its very basic, being very similar of multiplying two whole numbers together. We also found out that this was a very curious journey of learning because for most of the equations we were solving, was that instead of multiplying it bigger than the original number it would go smaller than the original numbers!

For our inquiry learning this term we will be focusing on the age of dinosaurs and to kick start our learning journey for term 3, we got the chance to research about paleontoligists, on what they do and why these fossil finding scientists are so important to the next step into evolution, with a challenge of explaining using exactly 50 words , no more or less! During this process we also found out that Fossil findings are absolutely crucial to have the understanding of the history that makes the present and the future, because these fossils contain the DNA from extinct animals and other living organisms. Fossils are preserved underground by the amount of pressure it builds up over time therefore becoming a fossil, while paleontoligists do mainy focus on animal bones instead of microscopic, and other living organisms, its also very important to know that fossils arent just bones, but other things that had been preserved and stored underground for ages!
