Guided Model Practice

This worksheet provides scaffolded support for students as they complete area models for multi-digit multiplication. An example model is included to help students recall the steps: expanding factors, filling in partial products, and adding them for the final answer. Students practice decomposing numbers into tens and ones and recording the corresponding partial products inside the grid. The layout reinforces understanding of place value and helps students see how each area contributes to the final product. This activity strengthens procedural fluency while maintaining focus on conceptual reasoning.
