To understand addition, subtraction and multiplication of decimals
What We Need?

A sheet of paper, a pair of scissors, a pen or pencil and a bowl

How To Do?
 Take a sheet of paper and cut it into 10 small pieces. Write 10 different decimal numbers
each on different piece of paper. Fold and put all the pieces into a bowl.
 Divide the class into groups of three students each.

 The teacher will pick any two pieces of paper from the bowl and show the decimals
written on the pieces to each group. The pieces should not be put back into the
bowl.
 One member of each group will add the decimals, another member will subtract the

decimals and the remaining member will multiply the decimals. A group will get one
point for each correct answer done in a specific time.

 Continue in this way till all the decimal numbers from the bowl are used.
 The group with the maximum points will be the winner.
