Students in 6th grade are currently reviewing both multiplication and division of decimals.  They have all learned various methods.  For multiplication, students use the standard method, lattice method and partial products methods to find solutions.  Many sixth graders are comfortable and efficient using the lattice method.  The new Common Core Standards require that all students are proficient in the use of the standard method of multiplication and division, which means more instruction and practice in this area is required.  With division students will also work towards solving for more exact answers by replacing remainders with either fractions or decimals.
