Multiplying using Area Models and Partial Products

Front

What is an area model in multiplication?

Back

An area model is a visual representation of multiplication where the lengths of the sides of a rectangle represent the numbers being multiplied. The area of the rectangle represents the product.

Front

What are partial products?

Back

Partial products are the results of multiplying each digit of one number by each digit of another number, then adding those products together to find the final answer.
