Thanks so much for that explanation. I had no idea what an “area model” was on my son’s homework. We learned multiplication very differently back-in-the-day. Lol.

Using and Teaching the Area model is my Favorite way to teach multidigit multiplication. This video was great!! It was slow enough for all the steps to be "absorbed" by my 4th graders and it sparked some awesome math talks!! Thank you!! Keep"em coming!!
