Understanding Multiplication Through Place Value

The video tutorial explains how to multiply two-digit numbers using the distributive property. It begins with an introduction to the concept, followed by two examples: multiplying 52 by 13 and 23 by 15. Each example is broken down into steps, demonstrating how to decompose numbers into their place values and solve using distributive law. The tutorial concludes with a visual representation using the area model, illustrating how to apply the distributive property in a more visual manner.

What is the first step in using the distributive property to multiply two-digit numbers?

• Subtract the smaller number from the larger one

• Multiply the numbers directly

• Break the numbers into their place values

• Add the numbers together

When breaking down the number 89 using place values, what does it become?

• 60 + 29

• 80 + 9

• 90 + 8

• 70 + 19

What is the purpose of breaking numbers into place values in multiplication?

• To increase the numbers

• To avoid using subtraction

• To make addition easier

• To simplify the multiplication process
