Exploring Area Model Multiplication

Miss Selan introduces a flipped classroom lesson on multiplying large numbers using the area model method. The lesson includes step-by-step examples of multiplying numbers like 543 x 6, a two-digit by two-digit problem, and a three-digit by two-digit problem. Students are encouraged to interact with the video, pause, rewind, and practice on their own. The lesson emphasizes understanding place value and using magnitude estimates to verify answers.
