Multiplying Numbers Using the Area Method

The video tutorial explains the area method for multiplying numbers, using examples to demonstrate the process. It starts with a simple multiplication of two 2-digit numbers, 34 * 21, by partitioning each number and arranging them in a box format to simplify the multiplication. The process is repeated with another example, 42 * 38, to reinforce the method. Finally, the tutorial tackles a more complex multiplication of a 3-digit number by a 2-digit number, 268 * 37, showing how the area method can be adapted for larger numbers. Each step involves partitioning the numbers, multiplying the parts, and then adding the results to find the final answer.
