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.

problem_activity: Task
The goal of this task is to explain why the area enclosed by a circle $C$ of radius $r$ is
$\pi r^2$.  Recall that $\pi$ is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter and that this ratio is independent of the size of the circle.
Draw a picture of a regular octagon $O$ inscribed in $C$.  Find  a formula for the area of the octagon in terms of its perimeter.
Reasoning as in part (a), find a formula for the area of a regular $n$ sided polygon, for $n \geq 3$, inscribed in $C$: the formula should give the area of the polygon  in terms of  its perimeter.
Using your formula from part (b), explain why the area of $C$ is $\pi r^2$.
