Area Model Multiplication Interactive Activity
Hi, a tad disappointing to print, laminate and cut up all the cards to find that two of the answers do not match. 82 x 2 (is not 239) and 80 x 8 (not 160).
Hi Lisa, I'm sorry you had to experience this... it would have been very frustrating! The resource is being fixed and the new version will be available for download later in the day. My apologies once again for the inconvenience! Have a great day.
Just at a glance I noticed the 66 x 0 question's match was 66, not 0.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Matt! We'll get that fixed up straight away.
