🧮 Part 1: Area Model Method

1. Use the area model to solve 23 × 6. Break 23 into 20 + 3:
2. Complete this area model for 45 × 7:

45 = 40 + 5

(40 × 7) + (5 × 7) = _______ + _______ = _______

3. Which area model shows 34 × 8 correctly?

(30 × 8) + (4 × 8) = 240 + 32 = 272

(30 × 8) + (4 × 8) = 240 + 24 = 264

(20 × 8) + (14 × 8) = 160 + 112 = 272

📊 Part 2: Vertical-Column Method

4. Solve using the vertical-column method:

a) 27 × 8 = _______

b) 46 × 5 = _______

5. Estimate first, then solve 38 × 6:

Estimate: 38 rounds to _____, so 38 × 6 ≈ _____

Actual answer: _______

6. Circle the correct vertical-column working for 29 × 4:

29 × 4 = 80 + 36 = 116

29 × 4 = 20 + 36 = 56

29 × 4 = 36 + 80 = 116
