1. **State the problem:** We need to multiply 68 by 54 using the box method.
2. **Explain the box method:** The box method breaks each number into place values and multiplies each part separately, then adds the results.
3. **Break down the numbers:**
- 68 = 60 + 8
- 54 = 50 + 4
4. **Set up the box:**
| | 60 | 8 |
|---|----|---|
| 50| | |
| 4 | | |
5. **Multiply each pair:**
- 60 × 50 = 3000
- 60 × 4 = 240
- 8 × 50 = 400
- 8 × 4 = 32
6. **Add all the products:**
$$3000 + 240 + 400 + 32 = 3672$$
7. **Final answer:**
$$68 \times 54 = 3672$$
