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: Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 × 7.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this warm-up is to elicit different strategies for counting objects arranged in groups of 2, which will be useful when students multiply by 2 in a later activity. While students may notice and wonder many things about these images, flexible ways of seeing the groups and strategies for finding the total number of objects are the important discussion points.
When students see the socks are grouped by 2 and use that to find the total, they are looking for and making use of structure (MP7).

Activity Synthesis
“How does this problem relate to what we know about multiplication?” (There are equal groups of socks, we can say there are 6 groups of 2.)
