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

standard_description: Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction by a whole number.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.
problem_activity: Narrative
In this activity, students find the perimeter of several shapes and write expressions that show their reasoning. Each side of the shape is labeled with its length, prompting students to notice repetition in some of the numbers. The perimeter of all shapes can be found by addition, but students may notice that it is efficient to reason multiplicatively rather than additively (MP8). For example, they may write
\(4 \times 6\frac{1}{3}\)
instead of
\(6\frac{1}{3} + 6\frac{1}{3} + 6\frac{1}{3} + 6\frac{1}{3}\)
.

Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share the expressions they wrote for the perimeter of each shape. Record the expressions.
For each shape, ask: “What is the same about these expressions? What is different?” (They each use the side lengths in the shape. They each show the total length around the shape. Some use addition, some use multiplication, some use both multiplication and addition.)
Highlight that when two or more sides have the same length, the perimeter can be found by adding, multiplying, or a combination of both.
