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: Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real world and mathematical problems involving volume.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to estimate the number of shipping containers on a fully loaded cargo ship. Then they make many assumptions about the arrangement of the containers on the boat to come up with a better estimate.
Launch
Groups of 2
Display image.
“How many containers are on the cargo ship?”
“What is an estimate that’s too high?” “Too low?” “About right?”
1 minute: quiet think time
Record responses.
Activity
“A cargo ship can hold many more than 60 containers. The second image is a picture of a cargo ship that is fully loaded.“
5 minutes: independent work time
“Discuss your estimates and assumptions with your partner.”
2 minutes: partner discussion
Monitor for students who are making different assumptions:
The ship is fully loaded.
Some of the space is taken up with structures.
There are more containers below deck that we can’t see.
All containers are the same size.
the specific side lengths of the shipping containers

Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share their estimates and any assumptions they made.
“How could you improve your estimate?” (Recreate the ship using a model. Check the height, width, and length of the container arrangement. See how many are on one side of the ship and multiply that to get a closer estimate.)
