Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 3.55 Area Models for Multiplication skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Expression: 10 × 10. Which option accurately represents the multiplication expression and its product using an area model?

AModel A: 10 rows, columns split into 6, 2, and 1; partial products 60, 20, and 10; product 90

BModel B: 10 rows, columns split into 5, 3, and 2; partial products 50, 30, and 20; product 100

CModel C: 9 rows, columns split into 5, 3, and 2; partial products 45, 27, and 18; product 90

DModel D: 10 rows, columns split into 5, 3, and 2; partial products 50, 30, and 20; product 99

Solution & Explanation:The expression 10 × 10 needs the full rectangle for those two factors. The column parts 5 + 3 + 2 equal 10. The partial products 50, 30, and 20 add to 100. That total is the product.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Expression: 10 × 9. Which area model correctly shows the factors after a split and names the product?

AModel A: rows split into 6, 2, and 1, with 9 squares in each row; partial products 54, 18, and 9; product 81

BModel B: rows split into 4, 5, and 1, with 10 squares in each row; partial products 40, 50, and 10; product 100

CModel C: rows split into 4, 5, and 1, with 9 squares in each row; partial products 36, 45, and 9; product 90

DModel D: rows split into 4, 5, and 1, with 9 squares in each row; partial products 36, 45, and 9; product 81

Solution & Explanation:The expression 10 × 9 needs the full rectangle for those two factors. The row parts 4 + 5 + 1 equal 10. The partial products 36, 45, and 9 add to 90. That total is the product.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Expression: 9 × 10. Pick the model that would let you add partial products to get the product of the expression.

AModel A: 9 rows, columns split into 4, 3, and 2; partial products 36, 27, and 18; product 81

BModel B: 10 rows, columns split into 3, 2, and 5; partial products 30, 20, and 50; product 100

CModel C: 9 rows, columns split into 3, 2, and 5; partial products 27, 18, and 45; product 81

DModel D: 9 rows, columns split into 3, 2, and 5; partial products 27, 18, and 45; product 90

Solution & Explanation:The expression 9 × 10 needs the full rectangle for those two factors. The column parts 3 + 2 + 5 equal 10. The partial products 27, 18, and 45 add to 90. That total is the product.
