Make teaching multiplication with area models engaging and hands-on! This set includes 40 low-prep task cards perfect for practicing two-digit by two-digit multiplication with area models. Quick and easy setup makes these activities perfect for centers or independent practice.

Let your students focus on matching the expression to the corresponding area model before they solve them. When students can successfully determine the operation(s), then let them work to solve the same word problems. Students will love breaking up word problems into 2 parts - sorting and solving - to become successful at reading and solving word problems.

Here's what you'll get:

• Teacher directions
• Student directions
• 20 multiplication expression cards
• 20 corresponding area model cards
• Student recording sheet
• Answer key

Your students will enjoy practicing reading and solving word problems. Matching multiplication expressions with the model and then solving the problem helps students to practice a challenging and important skill.

Prep is quick and easy... Just print the student directions, header cards, task cards, and recording sheets! Laminate if you like for durability.
