Finding Multiples Using Area Models

The video tutorial explains how to find multiples of a number using area models. It begins with an introduction to the concept of multiples and area models, followed by a detailed explanation of how area models represent multiplication. The tutorial highlights common mistakes to avoid when finding multiples and demonstrates finding multiples of 10 using area models. Finally, it applies the learned concepts to find the first five multiples of 12, reinforcing the understanding of multiples through visual representation.
