The area model math pennant I posted yesterday got some comments about it being confusing. I wanted to (hopefully!) clear up some of it with a quick area model fraction multiplication video. It’s a step-by-step method, so I can see how just seeing the final result could be a bit🤔. In this short video, 3/4 is multiplied by 1/2. It’s a lot like finding the area of a rectangle, except instead of using the entire length and width, we only use a fraction of each. This method always works, even with

Multiplication - Area Model! . Using strategies for calculations requires a good understanding of the operation being conducted as well as a good understanding of number sense. . The Area model has been used my many mathematics educators to represent multiplication situations and to provide a visual for students seeking solutions they can think about rather than following the procedural steps of an algorithm. . In the Area model the dimensions of the rectangle represent the numbers being multipl
