standard_description: Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table or multiplication table), and explain them using properties of operations. For example, observe that 4 times a number is always even, and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Sondra says
$$3\times223=696$$
. Use what you know about the product of two odd numbers to explain why Sondra is wrong.
Problem 2
Explain two ways you could find the next number in the highlighted diagonal below. You don’t need to actually compute it!
