Area model
Split both numbers into tens and ones: 46 = 40 + 6 and 23 = 20 + 3. Draw a 2 × 2 box and fill in the four products: 800, 120, 120 and 18. Add them: 1,058. The area model makes every step visible.
Standard algorithm
Multiply 46 by 3 (138), then by 20 (920), and add: 1,058. Remind your child to write the zero placeholder on the second line, the most common slip in this skill.
