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

If students also use technology to create the tables, they are using appropriate tools strategically (MP5).
Launch
Provide access to graphing technology. Students may need some assistance adjusting their graphing window to see the relevant features of each graph. Either help them set the window before they start to a domain of
\(\text-2 \le x \le 8\)
and range of
\(\text-60 \le y \le 600\)
, or wait until they have attempted to graph at least one function and remind them of what they have learned about changing the graphing window.
Student Facing
Each function represents the amount in a bank account after
\(t\)
weeks.
\(A(t) = 500\)
\(B(t) = 500 + 40t\)
\(C(t) = 500 - 40t\)
\(D(t) = 500 \boldcdot (1.5)^t\)
\(E(t) = 500 \boldcdot (0.75)^t\)
Make a table for each bank account showing the money in the account at 0, 1, 2, and 3 weeks.
Describe in words how the money in the account is changing week by week.
Use technology to create a graph of each function. How can you see your description in each graph?

Activity Synthesis
Focus the discussion on the connection between the equations, descriptions and graphs. Discuss questions such as:
“What do all functions have in common?” (The vertical intercept is 500, each bank account starts with $500)
“How does the money change each week? How do we see this change in the graph?"
“How are
\(B\)
and
\(C\)
the same and different?” (They are the same because they are each linear, and each start with
$
500 and change by
$
40 per week. They are different because B increases and C decreases (or the rate of change is positive versus negative.)
“How are
\(D\)
and
\(E\)
the same and different?” (They are the same because they are each exponential, and each start with
$
500. They are different because
\(D\)
increases and
\(E\)
decreases (or the growth factor is greater than 1 versus less than 1.))
