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, assess whether the following problem or activity is 'aligned' with the given Common Core standard in Mathematics.

standard_description: Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as 1/2. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.

Look at the title and image of the Newsweek article,
More Than Half of Medical Advice on 'Dr. Oz' Lacks Proof or Contradicts Best Available Science: Study
.
According to this article, a research team looked at 80 pieces of medical advice from
The Dr. Oz Show
and found no evidence to support 43 of these recommendations.
a.   Do you agree or disagree with the claim in the headline based on this information? Why or why not?
b.   Determine whether the following fractions are greater or less than
$$\frac12$$
.
$$\frac{5}{12}$$
$$\frac35$$
Problem 2
a.   Ishmael says that he knows
$$\frac{5}{12}$$
is less than
$$\frac35$$
because
$$\frac{5}{12}$$
is less than
$$\frac12 $$
and
$$\frac35$$
is more than
$$\frac12$$
, so
$$\frac{5}{12}$$
must be less than
$$\frac35$$
. Explain why Ishmael’s reasoning is correct using words or pictures.
b.   Use Ishmael’s strategy to compare the following pairs of fractions. Record your answer with
$$\lt$$
,
$$\gt$$
, or
$$=$$
.
$${{4\over10}}$$
and
$${{5\over8}}$$
$${{7\over12}}$$
and
$${{4\over9}}$$
$${{1\over3}}$$
and
$${{4\over7}}$$
Problem 3
a.   Now Joslyn is comparing
$$\frac46$$
and
$$\frac58$$
. She says that she knows
$$\frac46$$
is more than
$$\frac58$$
because
$$\frac46$$
is
$$\frac16$$
more than
$$\frac12$$
and
$$\frac58$$
is
$$\frac18$$
more than
$$\frac12$$
and
$$\frac16$$
is more than
$$\frac18$$
. Explain why Jocelyn’s reasoning is correct using words or pictures.
b.   Use any strategy to compare the following pairs of fractions. Record your answer with
$$\lt$$
,
$$\gt$$
, or
$$=$$
.
$$\frac{5}{12}$$
and
$${{4\over10}}$$
$${{3\over5}}$$
and
$${{5\over9}}$$
$${{1\over3}}$$
and
$${{3\over7}}$$
