Concept/skill: 
Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.

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?


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, determine whether the following problem or activity can enable students to understand the concepts or skills in the provided description.

standard_description: Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units, by laying multiple copies of a shorter object (the length unit) end to end; understand that the length measurement of an object is the number of same-size length units that span it with no gaps or overlaps. Limit to contexts where the object being measured is spanned by a whole number of length units with no gaps or overlaps.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this warm-up is to elicit the idea that a centimeter is the length of the edge of a centimeter cube and to connect this with the length of a base-ten block composed of 10 centimeter cubes. This will be useful when students measure with base-ten blocks and report their measurements in centimeters in a later activity. While students may notice and wonder many things about these images, discussion of the attributes of the shapes are emphasized by the labels and the meaning of a centimeter are the important discussion points. Students use and revise their language to clearly describe the images (MP6).

Activity Synthesis
“How are the labels on both images the same? How are they different?” (They both show the length of one square. They both show 1 length unit. One says centimeter and one says cm.)
“Both labels show the length of 1 centimeter. Centimeter is a long word and can be hard to use to label your length units. We can use cm for short. ‘C’ represents centi and ‘m’ represents meter.”
Display a centimeter cube and 10-centimeter tool.
“If the length of 1 edge of a centimeter cube is 1 centimeter, how long is this block? Explain.” (It’s 10 centimeters long because it shows 10 blocks put together. Each block is 1 centimeter long.)
“When we practiced adding and subtracting by place, we used these tools to show ones and tens.”
“When we measure we will call them centimeter cubes and 10-centimeter tools to describe their lengths.”
