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: Tell and write time in hours and half-hours using analog and digital clocks.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to solve two-step problems without the scaffold of having the first step explicitly stated. Students solve in a way that makes sense to them and might use diagrams to help them make sense of the story. In the synthesis, the tape diagram is highlighted.
MLR7 Compare and Connect.
Synthesis: Invite group to prepare a visual display that shows the strategy they used to solve the story problems. Encourage students to include details that will help others interpret their thinking. For example, using labels, notes, diagrams, or drawings. Give students time to investigate each other’s work. During the whole-class discussion, ask students, “What did the representations have in common?”, “How were they different?” and “Did anyone solve the problem the same way, but would explain it differently?”

Groups of 2
“With a partner, choose a problem from the first activity to solve. Discuss how the diagram can help you think about the problem.”
4 minutes: partner work time
Activity
“Now you will be solving a few money problems on your own.”
“Use a diagram if it helps you make sense of the story.”
10 minutes: independent work time
Monitor for students who use a diagram to represent and solve the problem about Tyler, Andre, and Noah.
Student Facing
For each problem, show your thinking. Write your final answer using the \$. Use a diagram if it helps.
Mai has \$27, Elena has \$48, and Jada has \$16. How much money do they have altogether?
Tyler has \$45, Andre has \$36, and Noah has \$28. How much less money does Tyler have than Andre and Noah combined?
Lin has \$19. Together, Lin and Han have \$45. Then Han gets \$17 more. How much money does Han have now?

Advancing Student Thinking
If students want to represent the story with a diagram or equation but need support to start, consider asking:
“What is the story about? How could you break the problem into smaller parts?”
“How could you use a diagram or equation to represent the smaller parts?”
Activity Synthesis
Invite previously identified students to share the diagram for comparing Tyler's money to Andre's and Noah's money.
“How does this diagram represent the story?” (It shows Tyler's amount and then the combined amount of Andre and Noah. I can see that Tyler has less than Andre and Noah and that I need to add Andre's amount and Noah's amount and then subtract Tyler's amount from that.)
