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: Find the greatest common factor of two whole numbers less than or equal to 100 and the least common multiple of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12. Use the distributive property to express a sum of two whole numbers 1–100 with a common factor as a multiple of a sum of two whole numbers with no common factor. For example, express 36 + 8 as 4 (9 + 2).

It is common to use positive numbers to represent credit and negative numbers to represent debts on a bill. This task introduces students to this convention and asks them to solve addition and subtraction questions in that context. Note that whether a number should be positive or negative is often a choice, which means one must be very clear about explaining the interpretation of a signed number in a particular context (MP6).
For the second question, monitor for students who find the amount each week and sum those, and students who sum the value of the electricity used and the value of the electricity generated separately, and then find the sum of those.
Launch
Arrange students in groups of 2. Give students 4 minutes of quiet work time followed by partner discussion. Follow with a whole-class discussion.
Representation: Access for Perception.
Read Han’s electricity bill situation aloud. Students who both listen to and read the information will benefit from extra processing time. Check in with students to see if they have any questions about the context of the situation.

Reading: MLR6 Three Reads.
Use this routine to support reading comprehension of this word problem, without solving it for students. In the first read, read the problem with the goal of comprehending the situation (e.g., This problem is about a house with solar panels that generate energy.). In the second read, ask students to analyze the mathematical quantities (e.g., used
$
83.56 worth of electricity, generated
$
6.75 worth of electricity, current charges are
$
83.56, Solar Credit is -
$
6.75 and the amount due is
$
74.81). In the third read, ask students to brainstorm possible strategies to answer the questions. This helps students connect the language in the word problem and the reasoning needed to solve the problem, while still keeping the intended level of cognitive demand in the task.
Design Principle(s): Support sense-making​

Han's family got a solar panel. Each month they get a credit to their account for the electricity that is generated by the solar panel. The credit they receive varies based on how sunny it is.

Here is their electricity bill from January.
In January they used
$
83.56 worth of electricity and generated
$
6.75 worth of electricity.
In July they were traveling away from home and only used
$
19.24 worth of electricity. Their solar panel generated
$
22.75 worth of electricity. What was their amount due in July?
The table shows the value of the electricity they used and the value of the electricity they generated each week for a month. What amount is due for this month?

What is the difference between the value of the electricity generated in week 1 and week 2? Between week 2 and week 3?

While most rooms in any building are all at the same level of air pressure, hospitals make use of "positive pressure rooms" and "negative pressure rooms."  What do you think it means to have negative pressure in this setting?  What could be some uses of these rooms?

Activity Synthesis
Ask one or more students to share their answer to the first question and resolve any discrepancies.
Ask selected students to share their reasoning for the second questions. Discuss the relative merits of different approaches to solving the problem.
Finish by going over the solution to the third question. Point out that the bill will reflect a negative number in the amount due section, but we can interpret this to mean that the family receives a credit, and it will be applied to their next bill.
