Example:
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: Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients.
problem_activity: Optional activity
The purpose of this activity is for students to create their own stained-glass design for a given amount of money. The activity is purposefully left open to allow students to either tweak the previous design or create something completely new.
As students work, monitor and select students who either tweaked a previous design or created a new, interesting design to share during the whole-group discussion.
Launch
Students in same groups.  Remind students to include whole or partial circles in their designs.
Student Facing
Draw a stained-glass window design that could be made for less than
$
450. Show your thinking. Organize your work so it can be followed by others.

Anticipated Misconceptions
Some students may think they need to create a new design and struggle getting started. Point these students to the designs in previous activities and ask how they could modify these designs to meet the cost requirement.
Activity Synthesis
Display students’ designs for all to see and ask students to explain how they knew their design met the cost requirement. Allow other students to ask questions of the student who is sharing their design.
Speaking, Listening: MLR7 Compare and Connect.
As students prepare their stained-glass window designs, look for students with different solution methods. As students investigate each other’s work, ask students to share what worked well in a particular approach. During this discussion, listen for and amplify any comments about what might make the calculation of the cost more precise. Then encourage students to make connections between the quantities used to calculate the cost of the glass and the circles in the stained-glass window design. During this discussion, listen for and amplify language students use to interpret quantities as the total area of the whole or partial circles in their design. This will foster students’ meta-awareness and support constructive conversations as they compare strategies for calculating the cost of a stained-glass window and make connections between quantities and the area of circles.
Design Principle(s): Cultivate conversation; Maximize meta-awareness
