Problem/activity:
Problem 1
Solve using the standard algorithm. If you get stuck, use an area model and/or the partial products algorithm to help. Then assess the reasonableness of your answer.
a.
$$5,803\times46$$
b.
$$63\times2,116$$
Problem 2
Dunkin' introduced a croissant doughnut in 2014. In the first three months of its debut, they sold 7,870 dozen of them per day. How many croissant doughnuts were sold in the first three months?


Concept/skill: 
Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.

Answer: 
Yes. This set of problems involves multi-digit whole numbers because the numbers in each problem are four and two digit integers, and the mathematical calculations involved in both problems focus on multiplication. The first problem explicitly asks the student to solve its subproblems using the standard algorithm.

Now, does the following problem or activity enable students to learn the full intent of the following concept or skill?

standard_description: Use variables to represent two quantities in a real-world problem that change in relationship to one another; write an equation to express one quantity, thought of as the dependent variable, in terms of the other quantity, thought of as the independent variable. Analyze the relationship between the dependent and independent variables using graphs and tables, and relate these to the equation. For example, in a problem involving motion at constant speed, list and graph ordered pairs of distances and times, and write the equation d = 65t to represent the relationship between distance and time.
problem_activity: Warm-up
Students reflect on equivalent expressions that represent the area of a shaded rectangle which is part of a larger rectangle of unknown width.
Launch
Allow students 2 minutes of quiet work time, followed by a whole-class discussion.
Student Facing
A rectangle with dimensions 6 cm and
\(w\)
cm is partitioned into two smaller rectangles.
Explain why each of these expressions represents the area, in cm
2
, of the shaded region.
\(6w-24\)
\(6(w-4)\)

Activity Synthesis
Ask students to share their reasoning.
\(6w-24\)
should be straighforward: the area of the entire rectangle is
\(6w\)
, and the area of the unshaded portion is
\(6 \boldcdot 4\)
or 24, so the area of the shaded portion is
\(6w-24\)
.
Students may have more trouble with
\(6(w-4)\)
. The key is to understand that the longer side of the shaded portion can be represented by
\(w-4\)
.
