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?

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to ask a question that can be answered with the given information and then answer the question. There are many different questions students can ask including:
Who picked the most apples?
How many apples did they pick together?
Did Elena or Diego pick more apples?
How many apples did Diego pick?
These questions require all the given information to solve. Students may also ask questions which require only some of the information to solve, such as, “How many apples did Han pick?” The activity synthesis focuses on sharing different questions students asked and how they found the answer, with a focus on the multi-step problem “How many apples did they pick altogether?” Images are provided for display, however, student work should be used as much as possible in the synthesis.
Launch
Groups of 2
“Sometimes people buy apples at the market or grocery store, but sometimes people go to an apple orchard to pick apples.”
“Each person gets a basket to collect the apples they pick, and then they pay for the apples.”
“Apple picking can be a fun outing for families and friends.”
“You will be reading a story and asking questions about friends who went apple picking together.”
Activity
Read the problem.
“Think about the questions you could ask someone that this story could help them answer.”
5 minutes: independent work time
“Switch questions with your partner and find the answer.”
“Share your thinking and check to see if you agree about the answer.”
5 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for students who represent how many apples Han picked and students who represent how many apples Diego picked compared to Han to share in the synthesis as shown.
Student Facing
Elena picked 29 apples. Elena picked 14 fewer apples than Han. Han picked 15 more apples than Diego.
Write a question someone could answer based on this information.

Advancing Student Thinking
If students write a question that can’t be answered with the information given, consider asking:
“What is the story about?”
“What can be counted in the story?”
“What quantities do you know? What is unknown?”
Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share their questions.
Display a diagram that represents the number of apples Han picked, such as:
[IMG]
“What does the diagram represent?” (The number of apples Han picked since he picked 14 more than Elena.)
“How did you find how many apples Han picked?” (I added 30 to 14 to get 44 and then took away 1 to get 43.)
Display a diagram that represents the number of apples Diego picked compared to Han, such as:
[IMG]
“What does the diagram represent?” (How many apples Diego picked compared to Han.)
“How did you find how many apples Diego picked?” (I took 15 away from 43.)
“How did you find how many apples Elena, Han, and Diego picked altogether?” (I added 29, 43, and 28. I put all the tens together to get 80 and all the ones together to get 20 then added 80 and 20.)
