Multiplication Area Model

Lesson 5 Concept Development
Problem 1: Represent units using first the tape diagram, then the area model.
21 × 5
Problem 2: Products of two-digit and two-digit numbers, the area model and standard algorithm.
23 × 31
Problem 3: Products of two-digit and three-digit numbers.
343 × 21
231 × 32 Lesson 5 Problem Set
1. Draw an area model and then solve using the standard algorithm. Use arrows to match the partial products from the area model to the partial products of the algorithm.
a. 34 × 21
b. 434 × 21

3. Betty saves $161 a month. She saved $141 less each month than Jack. How much will Jack save in 2 years?
4. Farmer Brown feeds 12.1 kg of alfalfa to each of his 2 horses daily. How many kilograms of alfalfa will all his horses have eaten after 21 days? Draw an area model to solve. Lesson 5 Homework

This video demonstrates how to create an area model in order to visualize and solve double digit multiplication problems.

1. Draw an area model then solve using the standard algorithm. Use arrows to match the partial products from the area model to the partial products in the algorithm.
a. 24 × 21 = ________________
