Finding Multiples Using Area Models

The video tutorial explains how to find multiples of whole numbers using area models. It begins with a general introduction to multiples and area models, then provides detailed examples using the numbers 5 and 8. For each number, the video shows how to construct area models to find the first few multiples, emphasizing the concept of rows and columns to represent multiplication. The tutorial concludes by reinforcing the idea that more multiples can be found by continuing the pattern.
