3 Digit by 1 Digit Multiplication Using the Area Model

If your students are working on (and possibly struggling with) 3-digit by 1-digit multiplication, you might want to give the area model a try!

What is Area Model Multiplication?

The area model method is based on the equation that we use to find the area of a rectangle where we multiply the length times the width to find the area.

 

                             (L X W=Area)  

When using the area model to multiply 3-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers, we break down the 3-digit number into the expanded form and then multiply each part by the 1-digit number.  We then add the partial products together.  You can see an example of this in the anchor chart above.

How can students get more practice with Area Model Multiplication?

I love using Scoot games to help my students get out of their seats while they practice the skills we are working on. I developed this fun Christmas Area Model Multiplication Scoot Game to give students more practice with area model multiplication.

What's Included?

* Teacher Directions

* (24) 3-Digit by 1-Digit Multiplication Using the Area Model Task Cards

* Student Recording Sheet

* Answer Keys

How can I use these?

This activity can be used as a whole class Scoot game, as task cards at a center, or as a write-the-room activity.

Where can I get this?

You can find this resource at my Teachers pay Teachers store here.

7 Easy Classroom Storage Ideas

Students bring a ton of supplies with them to school, not to mention all of the things the school (or teacher) provides them!  The trick?  Where to store all of the things?

Here are some classroom storage hacks and ideas!

This post contains affiliate links. I earn a small commission each time someone makes a purchase using one of my links, which helps to support the blog.  All opinions are my own and I only promote brands and products that I have used myself and truly love. 

1. Classroom Library

I love to use Sterilite Stacking Boxes for my classroom library.  They are super durable, and strong enough to hold many books without toppling over.

I can usually find these on Amazon. Here is a 6 pack of the small white ones.  You can find medium white ones here. The large ones are great for picture books.



2. Storage Ottomans  

We made our own storage ottomans a few years ago as a class project.

But... if you are not feeling particularly handy, you can find these ones over at Amazon.

3. Pencil Management  

Amazon has a 6 pack of the small Sterilite 3-drawer organizers in black.

4. Anchor Charts

I was absolutely in love with this anchor chart storage system from Cheryl at Primary Graffiti shared on her Instagram Account. You can create this using these hanger holders.

Unfortunately, my classroom walls are sheet rock and I can't install them.  So... I came up with this instead.

This is similar to what I got.


This would be another great option. I found an example of a teacher using it on Pinterest.

Priscilla from Teacheriffic in 2nd Grade shared this storage unit made out of PVC pipe.

This post from First Grade and Fabulous shows you how to build one yourself!

5. Student Book Boxes

Because I have tables in my classroom, I need a place for students to hold their supplies.  These book boxes from Really Good Stuff are AMAZING!  



6. Miscellaneous Classroom Supplies

I love using the Sterilite Shoe Boxes to store miscellaneous supplies such as crayons, glue, etc.  I actually bought the white ones here, but used spray paint to make them green.  The spray paint holds up pretty well, but I usually need to re-do them every school year.
