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: Find whole-number quotients of whole numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to find quotients and represent their thinking with base-ten blocks. The numbers in the expressions are designed to encourage students to think about when the base-ten blocks may be helpful and when they become cumbersome. In future lessons, students will be asked to interpret base-ten representations but may use any method or representation that makes sense to them.
Representation: Develop Language and Symbols.
Synthesis: Use gestures or annotations such as labels or arrows to make connections between representations visible on displayed student work.
Supports accessibility for: Conceptual Processing, Visual-Spatial Processing
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Base-ten blocks
Launch
Groups of 2
Give students access to base-ten blocks.
“You are going to solve some problems on your own. Use base-ten blocks and represent your thinking in your book.”
Activity
5–6 minutes: independent work time
2 minutes: partner discussion
Monitor for students who draw base-ten representations using small and large squares and rectangles labeled with numbers, to share in the lesson synthesis.
Student Facing
Find the value of each expression. Explain or show how you used base-ten blocks to find the value.
\(96\div4\)
\(86\div2\)
\(108\div9\)

Advancing Student Thinking
Students may use mental math to solve problems. Consider asking: “How might your use the blocks to check your mental math?”
