Concept/skill: 
Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.

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: 
No. This set of problems does not directly involve adding or subtracting multi-digit whole numbers. Instead, it focuses on multiplying multi-digit whole numbers.

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

standard_description: Prove theorems about triangles. Theorems include: a line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two proportionally, and conversely; the Pythagorean Theorem proved using triangle similarity.
problem_activity: Warm-up
The purpose of this warm-up is to remind students that the translation of a line is parallel to the original line, and to plant the seed that a line can be taken to a parallel line by translating it. They inspect several lines to decide which could be translations of a given line. Then they describe the translations by specifying the number of units and the direction the original line should be translated.
Launch
Arrange students in groups of 2. Give students 2 minutes of quiet think time and access to geometry toolkits. Ask them to share their responses with a partner afterwards.

[IMG]
The diagram shows several lines. You can only see part of the lines, but they actually continue forever in both directions.
Which lines are images of line
\(f\)
under a translation?
For each line that is a translation of
\(f\)
, draw an arrow on the grid that shows the vertical translation distance.

Anticipated Misconceptions
Students may think that lines
\(i\)
and
\(h\)
can’t be images of line
\(f\)
because the part of
\(i\)
and
\(h\)
we can see is shorter than the part of
\(f\)
we can see. Tell these students that all of the lines go on indefinitely in both directions.
Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share how they know that lines
\(h\)
and
\(i\)
are translations of
\(f\)
. The main reason to bring out is that they are parallel to
\(f\)
. It might be worth demonstrating with a transparency that we can translate
\(f\)
to match up with
\(h\)
and
\(i\)
, but to match up with the other lines, we would need to rotate (or reflect) the transparency. If using a transparency to demonstrate the number of units to translate
\(f\)
up or down, it is helpful to draw a dot on a specific point on both the underlying graph and on the transparency.
