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?

Malia found a "short cut" to find the decimal representation of the fraction $\frac{117}{250}$.  Rather than use long division she noticed that because $250 \times 4 = 1000$,
$$\frac{117}{250} = \frac{117 \times 4}{250 \times 4} = \frac{468}{1000} = 0.468.$$
For which of the following fractions does Malia's strategy work to find the decimal representation?
$$\frac{1}{3}, \frac{3}{4}, -\frac{6}{25}, \frac{18}{7}, \frac{13}{8} \;\; {\rm and} \;\; -\frac{113}{40}.$$
For each one for which the strategy does work, use it to find the decimal representation.
For which denominators can Malia's strategy work?
