Do you know how to multiply using rectangles/area models? If not, here's a quick explainer:

(First 8 seconds cut off due to Twitter time limit. I just said "I got a request to make a video on multiplying using rectangles, so if I chatted with you about this last week, this one's for you.")

This is 5th-grade gold. Nicely done, Howie.

I need that shirt!!

That's super cool. I actually got this. Thanks for sharing, Howie

If they can understand this in upper elementary, they can use it for FOIL in middle school. Actually, that would be a great follow up video!

It’s our favorite way to multiply! 🙌🏻

I’m going to share this with my 7 year old. I know it will interest him in a new method. He would calculate 25x15 as he knows his 25xtable, then subtract 15. Let’s see…!

The grid method.

Love it! Awesome explanation! Very clear and easy to understand. Very well done content!

Started teaching multiplication this way to make the connection with area..love this method & also helps with algebraic multiplication and division later on... Oh and also love cats (where did you get the t-shirt?🐱)
