What is a partial product?

Back

A partial product is the result of multiplying a single digit of one number by the entire other number in a multiplication problem.

How do you break numbers into expanded form?

Back

Expanded form expresses a number as the sum of its place values. For example, 624 can be broken down into 600 + 20 + 4.

What is the first step in using the area model for multiplication?

Back

The first step is to break the numbers into expanded form.

Front

What is the second step in using the area model for multiplication?

Back

The second step is to multiply to find the partial products.

Front

What is the final step in using the area model for multiplication?

Back

The final step is to add up all of the partial products.
