Multiplying Two-Digit Numbers
Learning Objective
I can multiply a two-digit number by a one-digit number.
Key Concepts
An area model, also known as a box model or partial products, is a visual strategy to multiply numbers.
To multiply using an area model, you break down larger numbers by place value to make it easier.
When using the area model with two-digit numbers, you must break down both numbers by their place values before multiplying.
