Area Models for Two-Digit Multiplication

Multiplication

Area Model Box

• Distribute large number into place values

• Factors are placed on top of and to the left side of the box

• Multiply across the board for the partial products

• Add all partial products together for the final product

Draw

A package holds 30 batteries. How many batteries are in 14 packages? (Draw the area model/box model and answer the question)

Partial Products

• Break apart factors

• Write out multiplication sentences using Bowtie method

• Solve multiplication sentences to get partial products MAKE SURE to line them up by place value

Standard Algorithm

• Superman or Turtle

• Write the multiplication problem vertically

• Multiply bottom ones by top ones, tens, hundreds from the bottom corner

• Place a zero under that product (turtle egg)

• Multiply the bottom tens digit by the top ones, tens and hundreds.
