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: Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population by examining a sample of the population; generalizations about a population from a sample are valid only if the sample is representative of that population. Understand that random sampling tends to produce representative samples and support valid inferences.
problem_activity: Activity
In the previous activity, students interpreted given tape diagrams and explained how they represented a story. Here, they have a chance to draw tape diagrams to represent a story. The first story is a bit more scaffolded because it specifies what
\(x\)
represents. In the other two stories, students need to decide which quantity to represent with a variable and choose a letter to use. As with all activities in this lesson, students are
not
expected to write and solve an equation. This preliminary work supports the understanding needed to be able to represent such situations with equations.
Digital
Launch
Keep students in the same groups. You might have
each
student draw
all three
diagrams and compare them with their groups, working together to resolve any discrepancies. Or if time is short, you might assign
each
student in the group
a different story—
ask each student to explain their diagram to their group to see if their group members agree with their interpretation.
For classrooms using the digital version of the materials, take a minute to demonstrate how the controls work in the applet. Some students may prefer to draw the diagrams in their notebooks or on scratch paper.
Action and Expression: Internalize Executive Functions.
Provide students with a blank template of a tape diagram to represent each story.

Here are three more stories. Draw a tape diagram to represent each story. Then describe how you would find any unknown amounts in the stories.
Noah and his sister are making gift bags for a birthday party. Noah puts 3 pencil erasers in each bag. His sister puts
\(x\)
stickers in each bag. After filling 4 bags, they have used a total of 44 items.
Noah’s family also wants to blow up a total of 60 balloons for the party. Yesterday they blew up 24 balloons. Today they want to split the remaining balloons equally between four family members.
Noah’s family bought some fruit bars to put in the gift bags. They bought one box each of four flavors: apple, strawberry, blueberry, and peach. The boxes all had the same number of bars. Noah wanted to taste the flavors and ate one bar from each box. There were 28 bars left for the gift bags.

Design a tiling that uses a repeating pattern consisting of 2 kinds of shapes (e.g., 1 hexagon with 3 triangles forming a triangle). How many times did you repeat the pattern in your picture? How many individual shapes did you use?

Activity Synthesis
Much of the discussion will take place in groups. Here are some ideas for synthesizing students’ learning about creating tape diagrams:
Ask students if they had any disagreements in their groups and how they resolved them.
Ask students how they decided which unknown quantity to find in the story. The first story specifies
\(x\)
stickers, but the other stories do not define a variable.
Display one diagram for each story and ask students to explain how they are alike and how they are different.
