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.

standard_description: Use rational approximations of irrational numbers to compare the size of irrational numbers, locate them approximately on a number line diagram, and estimate the value of expressions (e.g., p^(2)). For example, by truncating the decimal expansion of Ö2, show that Ö2 is between 1 and 2, then between 1.4 and 1.5, and explain how to continue on to get better approximations.
problem_activity: Warm-up
The purpose of this warm-up is for students to practice solving an equation for an unknown value while thinking about a coordinate pair,
\((x,y)\)
, that makes the equation true. While the steps to solve the equation are the same regardless of which value of
\(x\)
students choose, there are strategic choices that make solving the resulting equation simpler. This should be highlighted in the discussion.
Launch
Encourage students to not pick 0 for
\(x\)
each time.
Student Facing
For each equation choose a value for
\(x\)
and then solve to find the corresponding
\(y\)
value that makes that equation true.
\(6x=7y\)
\(5x+3y=9\)
\(y+5-\frac13 x=7\)

Activity Synthesis
Collect the pairs of
\(x\)
’s and
\(y\)
’s students calculated and graph them on a set of axes. For each equation, they form a different line. Have students share how they picked their
\(x\)
values. For example:
For the first problem, choosing
\(x\)
to be a multiple of 7 makes
\(y\)
an integer.
For the last problem, picking
\(x\)
to be a multiple of 3 makes
\(y\)
an integer.
