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?


Description: 
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, assess whether the following problem or activity aligns with the provided description.

standard_description: Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number.
problem_activity: Warm-up
The purpose of this Math Talk is to elicit strategies and understandings students have for expressing total lengths and areas, given some dimensions. These understandings help students develop fluency and will be helpful later in this lesson when students will need to be able to combine like terms to express a total length and express an area of a rectangle in different ways using the distributive property. In this activity, students have an opportunity to notice and make use of structure (MP7) because there are opportunities to invoke the distributive property and to replace expressions with equivalent expressions.
Launch
Display one problem at a time. Give students quiet think time for each problem and ask them to give a signal when they have an answer and a strategy. Keep all problems displayed throughout the talk. Follow with a whole-class discussion.
Student Facing
A rectangle is partitioned into smaller rectangles. Explain why each of these expressions represents the area of the entire rectangle.

\(7(7+7+4+4)\)
\(7(2 \boldcdot 7 + 2 \boldcdot 4)\)
\(7^2+7^2+4 \boldcdot 7+4 \boldcdot 7\)
\(2(7^2) + 2 (4 \boldcdot 7)\)

Activity Synthesis
Ask students to share their strategies for each problem. Record and display their responses for all to see. To involve more students in the conversation, consider asking:
“Who can restate
\(\underline{\hspace{.5in}}\)
’s reasoning in a different way?”
“Did anyone have the same strategy but would explain it differently?”
“Did anyone solve the problem in a different way?”
“Does anyone want to add on to
\(\underline{\hspace{.5in}}\)
’s strategy?”
“Do you agree or disagree? Why?”
