Example:
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.

5
standard_description: Understand the meaning of the equal sign, and determine if equations involving addition and subtraction are true or false. For example, which of the following equations are true and which are false? 6 = 6, 7 = 8 – 1, 5 + 2 = 2 + 5, 4 + 1 = 5 + 2.
problem_activity: Warm-up
In this activity, students have an opportunity to notice and make use of structure (MP7) in order to identify a point where the graphs of two given functions intersect. The work here leads directly into the next activity in which students use algebraic methods to identify all points of intersection between two polynomials.
Launch
Display one problem at a time. Give students quiet think time for each problem and ask them to give a signal when they have an answer and a strategy. Keep all problems displayed throughout the talk. Follow with a whole-class discussion.
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
To support working memory, provide students with sticky notes or mini whiteboards.
Supports accessibility for: Memory; Organization
Student Facing
Mentally identify a point where the graphs of the two functions intersect, if one exists.
\(f(x)=x\)
and
\(g(x)=3\)
\(j(x)=(x+3)(x-3)\)
and
\(k(x)=0\)
\(m(x)=(x+3)(x-3)\)
and
\(n(x)=(x-3)\)
\(p(x)=(x+5)(x-5)\)
and
\(q(x)=(x+3)(x-3)\)

Activity Synthesis
Ask students to share their strategies for each problem. Record and display their responses for all to see. To involve more students in the conversation, consider asking:
“Who can restate
\(\underline{\hspace{.5in}}\)
’s reasoning in a different way?”
“Did anyone have the same strategy but would explain it differently?”
“Did anyone solve the problem in a different way?”
“Does anyone want to add on to
\(\underline{\hspace{.5in}}\)
’s strategy?”
“Do you agree or disagree? Why?”
If not brought up during the discussion, remind students that these are called systems of equations. Ask, “What are some ways you have solved systems of equations in the past?” (Graphing, substitution, elimination.) Tell students that in the next activity, they are going to think about how to use substitution to solve systems of equations in which at least one of the equations is a quadratic.
Speaking: MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Display sentence frames to support students when they explain their strategy. For example, “First, I _____ because . . . .” or “I noticed _____ so I . . . .” Some students may benefit from the opportunity to rehearse what they will say with a partner before they share with the whole class.
