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 add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.

Answer: 
No. This set of problems does not directly involve adding or subtracting multi-digit whole numbers. Instead, it focuses on multiplying multi-digit whole numbers.

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

standard_description: Prove the slope criteria for parallel and perpendicular lines and use them to solve geometric problems (e.g., find the equation of a line parallel or perpendicular to a given line that passes through a given point).
problem_activity: Activity
Students observe that the angle formed by connecting endpoints of a diameter to a third point on the circle appears to be a right angle. They confirm that this is true for a few particular points, then write a conjecture. This conjecture will be generalized in an upcoming unit.
Monitor for different ways that students word the conjecture to highlight during the discussion. Listen for terms such as
diameter
,
endpoints
,
right triangle
, and
right angle
. The term
chord
will be defined in a subsequent unit. It is not necessary to define it here.
This activity works best when each student has access to devices that can use the embedded applet because students will benefit from seeing the relationship in a dynamic way. If students don’t have individual access, projecting the applet would be helpful during the synthesis.
Digital
Launch
Arrange students in groups of 4. Provide access to internet-enabled devices, ideally one per group. Distribute one index card with each internet-enabled device.
Conversing: MLR2 Collect and Display.
As students work on this activity, listen for and collect the language students use to justify why the angle formed by segments
\(BD\)
and
\(CD\)
is a right angle. Write the students’ words and phrases on a visual display. As students review the visual display, ask them to revise and improve how ideas are communicated. For example, a phrase such as, “The lines make 90 degrees because they have opposite slopes” can be improved by restating it as “Segments
\(BD\)
and
\(CD\)
are perpendicular because their slopes are opposite reciprocals.” This will help students use the mathematical language necessary to precisely justify why the measure of the angle formed by segments
\(BD\)
and
\(CD\)
is 90 degrees.

Use the applet to answer the questions.
First, observe and describe the image:
What kind of line is
\(BC\)
in reference to the circle?
What does the measurement of angle
\(BDC\)
appear to be?
Move point
\(D\)
around. How does the measurement of angle
\(BDC\)
appear to change? Use a corner of the index card to compare the size of the angle as it moves.
Move point
\(D\)
to a location with integer coordinates. Each student in the group should choose a different spot for
\(D\)
. Calculate the slopes of segments
\(BC\)
and
\(BD\)
. What do your results tell you?
Now select the button labeled “slopes.” This will show the slopes of
\(BD\)
and
\(BC\)
and their product. Move point
\(D\)
around. What do you notice about the product of the slopes?
Based on the results, write a conjecture that captures what you are seeing.

Activity Synthesis
Ask previously identified groups to share their conjectures. Challenge students to decide whether all the conjectures are saying the same thing, and if any of the conjectures need to be refined. Encourage students to respectfully disagree, ask for clarification, or point out contradicting information.
There are many ways to correctly word the conjecture. As students work to refine the wording, be sure that the word
diameter
is included, that it’s clear that 2 points are at the endpoints of the diameter, and that the third point is clearly somewhere else on the circle. Students may describe the result as 2 segments that form a right angle or 3 segments that form a right triangle.
Once the conjecture is finalized, ask students if they have proven it (they have not; they’ve just shown it’s true for a few particular cases). Tell students that we will look at a more general case of this assertion in an upcoming unit.
Action and Expression: Develop Expression and Communication.
Invite students to talk about their ideas with a partner. Display sentence frames, such as: “How did you develop your conjecture?” and “I chose this conjecture because. . . .” to support students when they explain their ideas.
