Multiplication Using Visual Models (Part 1)

The video tutorial explains multiplication as repeated addition and introduces the commutative property, which states that the order of numbers does not affect the product. It demonstrates using rectangular arrays to visualize multiplication, providing examples with 7 times 3 and 4 times 6, showing how to construct arrays and count the total points to find the product.
