Mastering Area Model Multiplication Techniques

In this video tutorial, Anthony from Mashup Math guides viewers through solving a real-world problem involving the multiplication of two-digit numbers using area models. The problem involves calculating the total number of donuts a grocery store owner receives by multiplying the number of boxes by the number of donuts per box. Anthony explains how to break down the numbers into simpler components and construct a rectangular area model to visualize the multiplication process. By calculating the products of each section and summing them up, viewers learn how to find the total product effectively. The tutorial emphasizes the usefulness of visual aids like area models for complex multiplication tasks.

What is the purpose of using an area model in multiplication?

• To subtract two-digit numbers

• To divide numbers

• To find the area of a rectangle

• To simplify complex multiplication

How many boxes of donuts did the grocery store owner order?

• 24 boxes

• 43 boxes

• 60 boxes

• 1032 boxes

How many donuts are there in each box?

• 1032 donuts

• 60 donuts

• 43 donuts

• 24 donuts

What are the two components into which the number 43 is broken down?

• 4 and 3

• 40 and 3

• 43 and 0

• 20 and 23

What does the number 24 break down into for the area model?

• 12 and 12

• 2 and 4

• 20 and 4

• 24 and 0

Why is breaking down the numbers helpful in using the area model?

• It is necessary for subtraction

• It helps in division

• It makes multiplication easier

• It is used for addition only

What is the product of 20 and 40 according to the area model?

• 12

• 60

• 800

• 160

What is the product of 4 and 3 in the area model?

• 12

• 24

• 43

• 7

What is the final step to find the total number of donuts?

• Adding the values inside the area model

• Multiplying the values again

• Dividing the values

• Subtracting the values

What total number of donuts does the grocery store owner receive?

• 800 donuts

• 160 donuts

• 60 donuts

• 1032 donuts
