Start by finding the partial products. In other words, multiply each term of the binomial

by each term of the binomial

In the model, each of the smaller rectangles represents one of the partial products. For example, the top left rectangle represents the partial product

Similarly, the top right rectangle represents the partial product

Fill in the rest of the partial products in the same way.
