Exploring Multiplication with the Area Model

Miss McCarthy introduces the area model strategy for multiplication, emphasizing the importance of mastering multiplication facts. She provides step-by-step examples for multiplying numbers using the area model, encouraging students to practice and understand the process. The video concludes with a motivational message about learning and growth.

What is the main goal of Miss McCarthy's mission?

• To skip learning multiplication

• To make math difficult

• To make math fun, make it click, and make it stick

• To avoid mistakes

What is the first step in the Area Model Strategy?

• Subtracting the numbers

• Breaking down each factor into expanded form

• Adding the numbers

• Dividing the numbers

In the example of 28 times 47, what is the expanded form of 28?

• 20 + 8

• 2 + 8

• 200 + 80

• 28 + 0

What is the product of 40 times 20 in the first example?

• 200

• 800

• 600

• 400

What is the final product of 28 times 47 using the Area Model?

• 1316

• 1400

• 1200

• 1500

In the second example, what is the expanded form of 81?

• 800 + 10

• 8 + 1

• 81 + 0

• 80 + 1

What is the product of 40 times 3 in the second example?

• 240

• 120

• 160

• 200

What is the final product of 81 times 43 using the Area Model?

• 3683

• 3583

• 3483

• 3783

In the third example, what is the expanded form of 3652?

• 3000 + 60 + 50 + 2

• 3000 + 600 + 5 + 2

• 300 + 60 + 5 + 2

• 3000 + 600 + 50 + 2

What is the final product of 6 times 3652 using the Area Model?

• 23912

• 22912

• 21912

• 20912
