standard_description: Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.
problem_activity: Warm-up
The purpose of this warm-up is for students to analyze symbolic statements about square roots and decide if they are true or not based on the meaning of the square root symbol.
Launch
Display one problem at a time. Tell students to give a signal when they have an answer and a strategy. After each problem, give students 1 minute of quiet think time and follow with a whole-class discussion.
Student Facing
Decide if each statement is true or false.
\(\left( \sqrt{5} \right)^2=5\)
\(\left(\sqrt{9}\right)^2 = 3\)
\(7 = \left(\sqrt{7}\right)^2\)
\(\left(\sqrt{10}\right)^2 = 100\)
\(\left(\sqrt{16}\right)= 2^2\)

Activity Synthesis
Poll students on their responses for each problem. Record and display their responses for all to see. If all students agree, ask 1 or 2 students to share their reasoning. If there is disagreement, ask students to share their reasoning until an agreement is reached.
