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: Use square root and cube root symbols to represent solutions to equations of the form x^(2) = p and x^(3) = p, where p is a positive rational number. Evaluate square roots of small perfect squares and cube roots of small perfect cubes. Know that Ö2 is irrational.
problem_activity: Activity
The purpose of this activity is for students to use rational approximations of irrational numbers to place both rational and irrational numbers on a number line, and to reinforce the definition of a cube root as a solution to the equation of the form
\(x^3=a\)
. This is also the first time that students have thought about negative cube roots.
Launch
No access to calculators. Students in groups of 2. Two minutes of quiet work time, followed by partner then whole-class discussion.
Action and Expression: Develop Expression and Communication.
Maintain a display of important terms and vocabulary. During the launch take time to review the following term with a number line and sample calculations from previous activities that students will need to access for this activity: cube root.

Are you ready for more?
Diego knows that
\(8^2=64\)
and that
\(4^3=64\)
. He says that this means the following are all true:
\(\sqrt{64}=8\)
\(\sqrt[3]{64}=4\)
\(\sqrt{\text -64}=\text-8\)
\(\sqrt[3]{\text -64}=\text -4\)
Is he correct? Explain how you know.

Activity Synthesis
Display the number line from the activity for all to see. Select groups to share how they chose to place values onto the number line. Place the values on the displayed number line as groups share, and after each placement poll the class to ask if students used the same reasoning or different reasoning. If any students used different reasoning, invite them to share with the class.
Conclude the discussion by asking students to share how they placed -
\(\sqrt[3]{2}\)
on the number line.
Representing, Conversing, Listening: MLR7 Compare and Connect.
As students prepare their work before the discussion, look for approaches that favor the algebraic definition, and approaches that use the geometric interpretation. Call students’ attention to the different ways students describe how they operated on numbers cubed to determine the approximate cube roots, and to the different ways these operations are made visible in each representation (e.g., using the fact that
\(\sqrt[3]{a}\)
is a solution to the equation
\(x^3 = a\)
, and finding rational approximations of the irrational numbers to plot the cube roots on the number line). Emphasize language used to make sense of strategies reinforcing the definition of a cube root as a solution to the equation of the form
\(x^3 = a\)
.
