Students should be confident with long division of whole numbers, multiplying decimals by powers of 10, and understanding equivalent fractions before attempting this topic.
How can teachers scaffold this skill for struggling students?⌄
Using graph paper to align decimal places, color-coding the dividend and divisor, and working through the 'move the decimal' transformation step-by-step as a class helps build procedural fluency gradually.
