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.

5
standard_description: Add within 100, including adding a two-digit number and a one-digit number, and adding a two-digit number and a multiple of 10, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used. Understand that in adding two-digit numbers, one adds tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose a ten.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to find the value of differences within 10. Students are encouraged to think about how patterns in subtraction problems and knowing sums within 10 can help them find the value of the differences. Students may use take away or counting on methods. The problems are written for students to think about different methods for solving. For example, students may find the value of
\(10 - 3\)
by taking away 3 to get 7, then see that they can find
\(10 - 7\)
by knowing the relationship between 3, 7, and 10. Students should work in groups of 2, with a different partner than they had in the previous activity.
Engagement: Provide Access by Recruiting Interest.
Provide choice. Invite students to decide which problem to start with.
Supports accessibility for: Social-Emotional Functioning, Attention
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Connecting cubes or two-color counters
Launch
Groups of 2
Give students access to connecting cubes or two-color counters.
Activity
Read the task statement.
“You will first find the value of each difference on your own. Then you will share your thinking with a different partner than last activity.”
5 minutes: independent work time
2 minutes: partner discussion
Student Facing
Find the value of each difference.

Activity Synthesis
“Were there any expressions that helped you with another expression? How did they help you?” (
\(10 - 3\)
and
\(10 - 7\)
. They are related because
\(3 + 7 = 10\)
.
\(9 - 6\)
,
\(9 - 5\)
, and
\(9 - 4\)
. There is a pattern. Since the number being subtracted gets 1 bigger, the difference gets 1 smaller.)
