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: Develop definitions of rotations, reflections, and translations in terms of angles, circles, perpendicular lines, parallel lines, and line segments.
problem_activity: Activity
The goal of this activity is to practice applying the definition of rotation. In this activity, students rotate a segment around its endpoint to create an isosceles triangle. By rotating a segment around one endpoint, students can observe that the distance between the center of rotation and a point is the same as the distance between the center of rotation and the image of that point. This observation is later captured in the formal definition of rotation.

You constructed an equilateral triangle by rotating a given segment around one of its endpoints by a specific angle measure. An equilateral triangle is an example of a
regular polygon
: a polygon with all sides congruent and all interior angles congruent. Try to construct some other regular polygons with this method.

Anticipated Misconceptions
Students may not notice any properties other than that rotation preserves distances to the center of rotation. Encourage these students to use tracing paper to make other conjectures about side lengths or angles.
Activity Synthesis
Display an isosceles triangle
\(ABC\)
with base
\(BC\)
.
Here are some key conjectures and observations students should come away from the discussion with:
Rotations preserve the distance to the center of rotation.
The angle bisector of angle
\(A\)
is also the perpendicular bisector of the base (
\(BC\)
) of an isosceles triangle.
The two base angles (angle
\(B\)
and angle
\(C\)
) of an isosceles triangle are congruent.
An isosceles triangle where angle
\(A\)
is 60 degrees is also equilateral.
It is not necessary at this time to formalize the language of these ideas. This will come later as students prove some of these statements in a subsequent unit.
