Let's solve each problem step by step using the
partial product box method (also known as the area model or expanded form multiplication). This method breaks down each number into tens and ones, multiplies them in parts, and then adds up all the partial products.
---
🔷 General Steps:
1. Break apart both numbers into tens and ones.
2. Draw a 2x2 box.
3. Write the expanded first number on top (tens and ones).
4. Write the expanded second number vertically on the left.
5. Multiply each part and fill in the boxes.
6. Add all partial products to get the final answer.
