Description and Specification for Lab Tenders
Visual Area Modeler.
Visual Area Modeler boards allow students to easily move from the
concrete representation of a problem, to the pictorial, and then onto
the standard algorithm of multiplication and division. The back side is
printed with a "factor t" for drawing representations of the problems.
The front side features two channels to hold base ten blocks to
represent the factors of a multiplication problem. students will use
base ten blocks to create area models that are the length and width of a
rectangle to represent the factors, and the area of the rectangle to
represent the product. Boards measure 12" x 12". Set of 2 boards.
