Modeling Multiplying Decimals with Hundredths Grids

This video tutorial covers multiplying decimals using visual models. The teacher demonstrates two examples: multiplying 210 by 4/10 and 510 by 410, using colored pencils to shade and overlap areas on a grid. Students are instructed to complete two additional practice problems for homework, ensuring they understand the vertical and horizontal shading technique to find the product of decimals.
