Area Multiplication: Teaching Multiplication with Understanding

Description

This activity shows students what multiplication is and why it works. It is a great alternative to the more common multiplication algorithm and addresses Common Core Standard 4.5 in Numbers and Operations in Base Ten. Area multiplication leads into the my extended activity, Mental Multiplication, and also can be used to multiply polynomials in algebra.

Includes journal prompts, homework master, extensions, Common Core standards addressed, and answer key.

CCSS3.NBT.A.3

Multiply one-digit whole numbers by multiples of 10 in the range 10–90 (e.g., 9 × 80, 5 × 60) using strategies based on place value and properties of operations.

CCSS4.NBT.A.1

Recognize that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right. For example, recognize that 700 ÷ 70 = 10 by applying concepts of place value and division.

CCSS4.NBT.B.5

Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
