Multiply 1-Digit x 3-Digit with Area Models 4-35

Use area models to visualize the distributive property and multiply. What's 2 x 168? Draw a rectangle with side lengths of 2 and 168. Since 168 = 100+60+8, the area of the rectangle is (2x100) + (2x60) + (2x8) = 200+120+16 = 336. Think expanded form, then find and add partial areas to get the total area.
