Multiplying Whole Numbers with Base 10 Blocks

This video tutorial demonstrates how to multiply whole numbers using base ten blocks. It begins by defining the blocks and modeling the numbers 12 and 14. The tutorial then shows how to calculate the product by filling in the area of a rectangle with base ten blocks. It explains the partial products method using distribution and compares it to the area method. The video concludes by highlighting the benefits of using base ten blocks for visualizing multiplication and understanding partial products.
