The area model below shows how the multiplication calculation 14 × 16 can be partitioned into a series of smaller multiplication calculations.

An area model is a rectangular grid that can help you solve multiplication problems. The process is similar to how you find the area of a rectangle. Two-digit numbers can be partitioned into ...

If you are considering introducing the traditional multiplication algorithm, use Level 2 to illustrate how the algorithm can be mapped onto the area model for multiplication using place value ...

We will be continuing our learning around multiplying decimals using an area model.
