What is the connection between area models and the distributive property?
Using Partial Products to Apply the Distributive Property
Partial products is a math strategy that helps 5th grade students decompose a multiplication problem into smaller, more manageable parts. Using area models, students can break down the problem into two separate parts: the product of each factor and the sum of the two products. By using partial products, students can apply the distributive property to solve the multiplication problem.
3 Digit By 2 Digit Multiplication Using Area Models
Area models are a visual way to represent multiplication. They can help you visualize the base-ten structure of numbers. To solve a 3 digit by 2 digit multiplication problem, you will need to break down each number into expanded form, draw an area model for each, and then add the area models together. The area model can help you solve any 3 digit by 2 digit multiplication problem quickly and accurately.
Multiplying 3 Digit Numbers with Area Models
Area models are used to help visualize the multiplication process. Break apart the numbers into hundreds, tens, and ones. Multiply each column separately.
Did you know?
The area model is sometimes called the 'box method' because it resembles a box shape. The area model was first used by the ancient Babylonians over 4,000 years ago! In the area model, the 3-digit number is the length of the rectangle and the 2-digit number is the width.
