Two-Digit Multiplication Strategies

This video tutorial explains how to multiply two-digit numbers using the area model. It begins with an introduction to the concept and demonstrates the process with examples, such as multiplying 6 groups of 37 and 26 groups of 8. The tutorial then tackles a more complex problem involving 26 groups of 37, emphasizing the use of expanded notation for both factors. The video concludes by highlighting common mistakes to avoid and summarizing the key steps in the multiplication process.
