Area Model

The video tutorial uses a musical format to teach multiplication through the area model. It begins with a farmer planting green beans in 14 rows of 15, demonstrating how to break down multiplication into smaller parts using place values. The process involves multiplying tens and units separately and then adding the partial products. The same method is applied to black beans, with 22 rows of 15, reinforcing the concept. The tutorial emphasizes checking work and understanding the foundation of multiplication through place values.
