📝 Answer Key

Part 1 Answers:

1. 23 × 4: Break apart 23 into 20 + 3

   Area model: (20 × 4) + (3 × 4) = 80 + 12 = 92

2. 46 × 3: Break apart 46 into 40 + 6

   Area model: (40 × 3) + (6 × 3) = 120 + 18 = 138

3. 35 × 6: Break apart 35 into 30 + 5

   Area model: (30 × 6) + (5 × 6) = 180 + 30 = 210

4. 72 × 5: Break apart 72 into 70 + 2

   Area model: (70 × 5) + (2 × 5) = 350 + 10 = 360

Part 2 Answers:

5. 54 × 7 = 378 (50 × 7) + (4 × 7) = 350 + 28

6. 68 × 4 = 272 (60 × 4) + (8 × 4) = 240 + 32

7. 29 × 8 = 232 (20 × 8) + (9 × 8) = 160 + 72

8. 83 × 6 = 498 (80 × 6) + (3 × 6) = 480 + 18
