To multiply decimals easily in Year 1 Math, we need to understand place value. Here’s a simple way to do it:

1. Forget the Decimals for Now: If you're multiplying $0.6$ by $0.2$, think of them as whole numbers. So, multiply $6$ by $2$.

   $6 \times 2 = 12$

2. Count the Decimal Places: Next, see how many decimal places are in the numbers you started with. Here, both $0.6$ and $0.2$ have one decimal place each. That makes two decimal places in total.

3. Put the Decimal in the Answer: Now, take your answer, which is $12$, and move the decimal point two places from the right.

   So, $12$ becomes $0.12$.

4. Try with More Examples:

   • For $0.5 \times 0.3$:
     • First, calculate $5 \times 3 = 15$.
     • There are two decimal places in total, so we move the decimal point to get $0.15$.
   • For $0.4 \times 0.2$:
     • Calculate $4 \times 2 = 8$.
     • Again, with two decimal places, the answer is $0.08$.

By using these easy steps, multiplying decimals can be simple and fun!
