About this printable

This printable explains the area-model representation (a 2×2 grid) and provides four worked practice panels where students label the grid sides with the binomial terms, write the four partial products and combine them to give the total expanded expression.

Use it to introduce the distributive property visually or as guided/independent practice when consolidating expansion of binomials.
