1 Row Boxes

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a math exercise sheet that guides students in learning the box method for solving multiplication problems. It presents a series of multiplication questions, each accompanied by an empty box-grid where students can break down the problem into smaller parts. The worksheet includes a single example at the top, demonstrating how to use the box method with a completed grid, providing a model for the students to follow. Each multiplication question is paired with an image of a cooking pot, emphasizing the ‘recipe-like’ steps in the box method process.

The worksheet is teaching students to apply the box method to solve multiplication questions by decomposing the numbers into tens and ones, then multiplying these components separately. This method helps students understand the concept of area as it applies to multiplication, reinforcing the link between geometry and arithmetic. By working through these exercises, students practice the distributive property of multiplication and gain a solid understanding of how to manage larger numbers. The self-evaluation section with emoticons at the bottom serves as a reflection tool, prompting students to assess their grasp of the concept after practicing.
