I'm going to do it using something called an area model. And the whole point of an area model is to really understand what's going on in the multiplication process.

The following area model shows 6 × 5,432 broken into parts. The image is not drawn to scale. Find the area of each rectangle.

The following area model shows 27 × 85 broken into parts. The image is not drawn to scale. Find the area of each part. ... What is the total area? Be sure to answer all parts of the question.

Sal uses place value, the distributive property, associative property, and an area model to show more ways to multiply.

Learn the concept of multi-digit multiplication. Watch and learn how to break down the process into understandable steps, using two different methods.

It's not that different than what you might have done with the traditional multiplication techniques. And this is a useful way of thinking about it because now you really understand what's going on.

Now, each of these parts we can map to one part of this area model right over here. When we multiplied the 5 times the 8 and got the 40, that was this section right over here, 5 times 8 is equal to 40.

The following area model shows 3 × 69 broken into parts. The image is not drawn to scale. Find the area of each part.

Discover the magic of multiplying binomials by polynomials using an area model! This method transforms complex algebra into simple rectangles, making it easier to understand.

Practice using models like area models and hundredth grids to represent multiplication with decimals.
