Which of the numbers below can be used to solve this problem using the area model: 6 x 1,842?

(6 x 1,000)         5,000        4,800          40 x 6

(6+6)

= (6 x 1,000) + (6 x 800) + (6 x 40) + (6 x 2)

= 6,000 + 4,800 + 240 + 12

= 11,052

Tony says to multiple 219 x 3, you multiply 2 x 3, 1 x 3, and 9 x 3 and then add the partial products. Explain Tony’s error. How would you help Tony understand how to correctly multiply 219 x 3?

Tony did not use the correct place value for each digit when he expanded 219. He would need to do 200 x 3, 10 x 3, and 9 x 3. I could use place value blocks to show Tony how to use place value.
