Lesson Details

Key learning points

The distributive law can be used to find the product of two binomials.
An area model can be used to explore the underlying structure.
Both of the terms in one bracket must be multiplied by both terms in the second.

Common misconception

Missing out partial products

Relating back to numerical examples and showing that 12 × 34 is not just 10 × 30 + 2 × 4. Using algebra tiles and area models can help to support student's understanding.
