What number ranges are used?

For multiplication, products never exceed the thousandths place. All problems use one of the following sets of factors:

• a two-digit factor and a one-digit factor (e.g., 2.3 × 4; 0.08 × 0.9; .16 × 5)
• a three-digit factor and a one-digit factor (e.g., 0.156 × 4, 3.28 × 7, 8.09 × 0.2)
• a two-digit factor and a two-digit factor (e.g., 0.85 × 3.7, 14 × 1.6, 9.2 × 3.5)

For division, all problems meet the following criteria:

• quotients do not exceed four digits with or without a decimal point
• quotients may include whole numbers, tenths, hundredths, or thousandths
• divisors are limited to a single-digit whole number or a decimal expressed as tenths
• no more than one additional zero will need to be annexed

This resource includes versions of the Solving Problems with Decimals Jeopardy Game for BOTH PowerPoint and Google Slides. The questions used with each version are the same.

How is this decimals problems interactive game played?

The PowerPoint version of this Jeopardy-style game should be played in presentation mode. Category values disappear when they are clicked on. The category values can be reset anytime by exiting the presentation and reopening it. You can type scores onto a scoreboard while playing in presentation mode.

The Google Slides version of this Jeopardy-style review game should be played in full screen, edit mode. Instructions and a video tutorial are provided that show how this is done. You can type scores onto a scoreboard but the category values do not disappear when they are clicked on. This is a limitation of Google Slides. But, markers are provided alongside the category board that you can drag and drop over the category values after they have been used. The presentation has been coded to help you easily navigate from the category board to questions and answers without scrolling.

“These are games that actually work the way they are supposed to! I love that when the students answer a question it disappears and they can easily see which questions have not been answered. This can be completed whole group, small groups, and even individually. This will definitely be used for SOL reviews before the spring test.
