standard_description: Evaluate reports based on data.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to practice multiplying multi-digit numbers that have one or more digits of 0 at the end. Monitor for students who:
use the standard algorithm to evaluate
\(6,\!700 \times 89\)
.
multiply the product
\(67 \times 89\)
by 10 to find the value of the product
\(670 \times 89\)
.
multiply the product of
\(670 \times 89\)
by 10 to find the value of the product
\(6,\!700 \times 89\)
.
Students who observe that
\(670 = 10 \times 67\)
and
\(6,\!700 = 10 \times 670\)
and use these relationships to find the values of the products are observing regularity in repeated reasoning and using their knowledge of how to multiply a whole number by 10 (MP7, MP8).
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Synthesis: Invite students to identify which details were important to find products of multi-digit numbers that have zero digits. Display the sentence frame, “The next time I multiply a number that contains zero digits, I will pay attention to . . . .“

Ask previously identified students to share their solutions.
Display student work or the image from the sample response:
[IMG]
“What is the relationship between
\(670\times89\)
and
\(6,\!700\times89\)
?” (The product
\(6,\!700\times89\)
is ten times larger because one of the factors is ten times greater.)
“What is the relationship between
\(67 \times 89\)
and
\(6,\!700 \times 89\)
?” (The product
\(6,\!700 \times 89\)
is 100 times as large as
\(67 \times 89\)
since 6,700 is
\(100 \times 67\)
.)
