The Area Modelof Multiplication
Using Base Ten Pieces And Boxes
To Build Understanding of Multiplication
Use the Place Value Addition to Rename
32
32 = 30 + 2
We can solve two easierproblems,
then add the sums.
Remember
32 = 30 + 2
Suggestion: Let students use a calculator to discover numerical patterns.
Do they know what happens when youmultiply by a multiple of 10?
3 x 4 = 1230 x 4 = 120
Let’s Model It
32 x 4
Let’s Solve Those
Two Problems
30 x 4 = 120
2 x 4 = 8
30 x 4 = 120
2 x 4 = 8
120 + 8 = 128Add the two sums.
2 x 4 = 8
30 x 4 = 120
Let’s Model It
With BoxesInstead of Base Ten Pieces
30 x 4 = 120
8
Students Can Draw
Their Own BoxesThey don’t have to be concerned
with the size once they understand the concept.

Student should compare the twoarea models and the traditional algorithm.
